Who participates in the Sprint Review?

The Sprint Review is an important event in the Scrum framework where the team and stakeholders collaborate to assess the outcome of the Sprint and adapt the Product Backlog if necessary. Key stakeholders play a pivotal role in this event as their feedback is crucial for understanding the value delivered during the Sprint and for shaping future work.

During the Sprint Review, the Product Owner presents the completed work and explains what the team has achieved. The Development Team demonstrates the Increment and discusses what went well and what could be improved. Key Stakeholders, such as customers, users, or anyone interested in the product's progress, are invited to provide their insights and feedback. This interaction fosters transparency and enables the team to align their future work with stakeholder needs and expectations.

Engagement from key stakeholders ensures that the product being developed is on the right path and is properly aligned with market needs. Their involvement in the Sprint Review is essential for validating the work completed and collaboratively planning the next steps.

While the Product Owner, Development Team, and Scrum Master all have crucial roles during the Sprint Review, the focus on key stakeholders emphasizes the collaborative nature of Scrum, where the voices of those who have an interest in the product’s success are vital for effective decision-making.
