SprintReview

Sprint Review is a Scrum event held at the end of a Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog as needed. The Increment must be in a usable condition and meet the Definition of Done. The Review focuses on what was created during the Sprint and how it aligns with the project’s goals, inviting input from stakeholders to influence future work.

Participants typically include the Scrum Team (Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers) along with stakeholders invited by the Product Owner. The event is time-boxed, with up to four hours for a one-month Sprint; for shorter Sprints, the time is proportionally shorter.

During the Sprint Review, the Product Owner explains which backlog items have been completed and which have not. The Developers demonstrate the work that is complete, showing the new Increment and how it behaves. The group discusses what was done, what remains, and what changes are needed to maximize value in the next Sprint. The result is a revised Product Backlog that reflects new insights, priorities, and potential market or user needs.

Outputs of the Sprint Review typically include an updated Product Backlog, revised forecasts for future work, and a shared understanding of product progress toward the Product Goal. The event is distinct from the Sprint Retrospective, which focuses on the process and team capabilities rather than on the product and its backlog.
