What is the Sprint Review?
Is a Sprint Review needed for every Sprint? Who should attend? What should we have ready for this Event? What is the Sprint Review? In this vlog, I’m going to go over what the Scrum Guide definition is and what that all really means to you.
The purpose of the Sprint Review is to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations. The Scrum Team presents the results of their work to the key stakeholders, and progress towards the Product Goal is discussed.
During this event, the Scrum Team and the stakeholders review what was accomplished during the Sprint and what has changed in their environment. Based on this information, attendees collaborate on what to do next.
The Product Backlog may be adjusted to meet new opportunities. The Sprint Review is a working session, and the Scrum Team should really avoid limiting it to just a presentation.
The Sprint Review is the second to last event in a Sprint, and it is time-boxed to four hours as a maximum in a one-month Sprint. Usually, it is shorter with shorter Sprint lengths.
So, that’s it for the Sprint Review. There’s not a lot in the Scrum Guide about this event. It’s not super prescriptive on exactly how this meeting goes, or who would facilitate such an event, what kind of stakeholders you bring into this meeting, so you’ll have to do your best on that.
