What is the expected outcome of the Sprint Review?

The Sprint Review is a key event in the Scrum framework, designed to foster collaboration and communication between the Scrum Team and stakeholders. The primary expected outcome of the Sprint Review is to allow stakeholders to provide input on the increment, which is the potentially releasable output of the Sprint.

During the Sprint Review, the Scrum Team presents what they have accomplished during the Sprint, showcasing the completed increment of work. This is done to gather feedback from stakeholders, who can share their perspectives, suggestions, or concerns regarding the increment. This valuable feedback helps ensure that the product being developed aligns with stakeholder expectations and requirements and can influence the direction of future Sprints.

This event serves a purpose beyond just validating completed work; it also encourages transparency and collaboration, enabling the Scrum Team to adjust the product backlog based on what stakeholders deem important. This continuous feedback loop is essential for improving the product and adapting to changing needs throughout the development process.
