Sprint Review Template

Agile / Scrum 60 min End of every sprint Scrum team plus stakeholders and customers (open invite)

The sprint review template is your structure for showing real, finished work to the people who care about it and adapting the plan based on what you learn. The review is a working session, not a one-way presentation. Stakeholder feedback is the whole point.

When to use it

Run the sprint review at the end of every sprint, before the retrospective. Keep it informal and demo-driven. About an hour works for a two-week sprint. Show working software live rather than walking a deck of screenshots.

Who attends

The full Scrum team attends, and the Product Owner invites stakeholders, customers, and anyone whose input shapes the product. A wide audience makes the feedback richer and keeps everyone aligned on direction.

How to run it

Open by restating the sprint goal so the demo has context. Then show the increment live, focusing on work that genuinely meets the definition of done. Be candid about what carried over and why. Open the floor for reactions, questions, and new needs, treating that conversation as the most valuable part of the meeting. Close by capturing feedback as backlog candidates and noting any shift in priorities for the next refinement.

Facilitator tips

  • Demo working software rather than slides about working software.
  • Only show done work so the increment reflects real, releasable value.
  • Make space for honest feedback, including the uncomfortable kind.
  • Capture inputs live as backlog items so nothing gets lost.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the review as a status report instead of a feedback session.
  • Demoing half-finished work that does not meet the definition of done.
  • Inviting no real stakeholders, so the feedback loop is empty.
  • Skipping capture, so good feedback never reaches the backlog.

Want demos that drive decisions? Run it in OrgTP to capture stakeholder feedback straight into your backlog.
