Demonstrate and Validate Sprint

This process has the Scrum Team showcase the Sprint's completed deliverables to the Product Owner and key business stakeholders during the Sprint Review to confirm they meet expectations and gather feedback for acceptance or follow-up changes.

Key Points

  • Held at the end of each Sprint as the Sprint Review meeting.
  • The team demonstrates a working, potentially shippable increment to the Product Owner and stakeholders.
  • Acceptance is based on agreed criteria; feedback and gaps are captured for future backlog updates.
  • Outcomes may include updated Product Backlog, revised release plans, and shared understanding of what is done.

Example

At the Sprint Review, the team walks the Product Owner and marketing stakeholders through the new checkout flow, shows it working on web and mobile, verifies each acceptance criterion, receives feedback on UI polish, and logs two minor changes into the Product Backlog.
