What is a Sprint Review meeting – some details
Filed Under Scrum | Posted on February 2, 2010
In a previous post, I had mentioned about the 3 types of Sprint time meetings:
Sprint Retrospect
Sprint Review
Sprint Planning
Earlier, I have covered the Sprint Planning meeting in some detail, and in this post (and some future posts), I will cover the Sprint Review meeting. What does Review mean ? Review means looking at your status, typically meant to define a time when you measure against what you had targeted to do. In the traditional sense, You can have reviews that are very strict and formal, with sets of rules, or you can have reviews in a more informal manner, typically used among people who have worked well with each other.
For the case of Scrum, a review meeting tends to be the latter, with an air of informality so that the team can easily discuss what all was accomplished in the Sprint. It is not required, and in fact, would strongly militate against the concept of any one person (the ScrumMaster or similar roles) trying to run the meeting in terms of presenting bulleted points. The idea of the meeting is that people come in, fresh from the Sprint, walk through what all was accomplished, generate the list of what did not get done, and have a demo of the work accomplished.
The demo is critical, since it gives the stakeholders a chance to get to see what all got accomplished, and provide feedback on the overall accomplishments.
