What is the purpose of the Sprint Review?

The purpose of the Sprint Review is to demonstrate completed work to stakeholders. During this event, the Scrum Team showcases the increment of work that has been completed during the Sprint. This demonstration is crucial as it allows the team to gather feedback from stakeholders, ensuring that the product continues to evolve according to the needs and expectations of users and customers.

The Sprint Review serves as a collaborative meeting where the team discusses what was accomplished, what challenges were faced, and how the product is progressing towards its goals. This interactive engagement helps align stakeholder expectations and informs necessary adjustments for future Sprints, promoting transparency and collaboration between the Scrum Team and stakeholders.

In contrast, assigning blame for incomplete tasks, planning the next Sprint, and holding team members accountable do not reflect the spirit of the Sprint Review. These activities may distract from the intended purpose of fostering a constructive feedback loop and collaborative spirit that defines successful Scrum practices.
