Sprint Review
❓What is it
- Sprint reviews takes place in an informal atmosphere at the end of each sprint, with the team sharing what has been achieved with stakeholders and where possible end users. The review provides a valuable opportunity for early feedback on the deliverable increment from the people that matters most- end users and stakeholders. Sprint reviews are also known as Show and Ask intimating the conversational nature of a good sprint review event.
👥Who
- Product Owner leads the sprint review, but all the team should attend as this is an opportunity to hear feedback first hand
🛠 Running the technique
- Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes to run the review for a typical 2 week sprint.
- It is recommended that the team employ an open invite approach casting a wide net across interested communities to maximise feedback on the deliverable increment.
- Open the sprint review with a reminder of the sprint goal, and then present in an informal manner the deliverables completed during the sprint. It is good practice to encourage the developer/designer of a specific deliverable to present this to the audience.
- Encourage open dialogue and feedback from the audience, and note down any specific points of interest that might be worth further exploration in a future sprint, and refinement of the existing backlog.
- Complete the review with a quick summary outlook of the product backlog and likely candidates for the next sprint.
- Following the sprint review, the team discusses any new insights from the feedback and amend the product backlog if appropriate.
