Adaptation occurs when inspection reveals deviations from acceptable limits or improvement opportunities. Teams must adjust their process, work, or Definition of Done based on inspection findings. Successful adaptation requires empowerment to make changes, organisational support, and courage to implement improvements. The Scrum framework provides multiple adaptation opportunities through ceremonies, enabling teams to respond effectively to changing circumstances and continuously improve performance.

Advanced facilitation techniques help Scrum Masters guide effective ceremonies, resolve conflicts, and build team capabilities. These include structured decision-making processes, conflict resolution methods, workshop facilitation, and coaching conversations. Skilled facilitators create safe spaces, encourage participation, manage group dynamics, and guide teams towards productive outcomes. Mastery requires practice, observation, feedback, and continuous skill development.
