Loop 04

Sprint Review

From Feedback to Backlog

A Sprint Review is not a demo. It is a working session where the team and stakeholders inspect outcomes and decide what to do next. This Loop helps teams move from showcasing features to learning together.

60 minProduct Owners, Scrum Masters and teams that want their Sprint Review to actually shape the next sprint.

The Loop

01 — Connection

In pairs, share one Sprint Review you attended that genuinely changed the backlog, and one that did not. What was different?

02 — Concept

Short input on the purpose of the Sprint Review, the difference between output and outcome, and how to design a review that invites real feedback.

03 — Concrete practice

Teams run two short reviews of the same increment: a traditional feature demo, and an outcome-focused conversation. Both end with a backlog decision.

04 — Conclusion

Each team writes one change they will make to their next Sprint Review and how they will know stakeholders were engaged.
