I just read an article by Luiz Quintela, otherwise known to me as ‘Q’. I think I met Q when he attended one of my Certified Agile Leadership classes in Dallas. He has since moved to LitheSpeed in DC, but that’s another story.
Anyway…
In the article, Q shares some of his experiences, learnings, and advice related to conducting powerful Scrum sprint reviews. I love all of his advice, so I won’t be nit-picking at any of it.
But I was inspired by his perspective. You see, it was from the point of view of the Product Owner and the team level responsibilities for conducting efficient, effective, and informative reviews. Ones where you get lots of feedback.
But the inspiration was that the role of the ATTENDEE was not really highlighted and that’s where I want to augment the article a bit.
The Role of Sprint Review Attendees
While the Product Owner and team members certainly play an important role in successful Sprint Reviews, the attendees are not simply innocent bystanders. They have a job to do as well. Or a responsibility or a role to play.
