Sprint Review vs Sprint Retrospective

Today lets co-share and learn about Sprint Review vs Sprint Retrospective. In practice, a lot of scrum teams and organizations muddle the waters when it comes to the principles and practices of Scrum. Which is great, as there is not one size fit all, but a more nuanced approach or tailored perspective to the team and organizational scrum practice and maturity. Sprint Review is an opportunity session which allows the scrum team to show and talk about the work that has been carried out and completed within a given iteration. So thus, it’s a demonstration to peers or other scrum teams, or requestors and program level Agile release train ART teams. Thus, an Organizational or Enterprise-wide inspection and adapt the product that has been built for all to share and learn on best practices. Part of the osmotic communication. On the other hand, the Sprint Retrospective takes place at individual scrum team level. The close out of the sprint before a new sprint planning and all that good stuff, the Scrum master as a custodian, coach, and mentors guides the team through this session finding out what went well and needs to be included or practiced more within the team members and went not so well or badly and need to be eliminated. This encouraged, transparency, knowledge transfer, ensures the best solution among alternatives is achieved. They are both opportunity sessions, Sprint Review meant for the Organization, and Sprint Retrospective meant for the team, they both foster camaraderie and collaboration for best in class solution outcomes, they both provide a pathway to achieving Agile maturity into high performing teams and organization alike.
