Iteration Review

Why?

  • The team holds the meeting to demonstrate a working product increment.
  • The functionality should be reviewed with the Product Owner throughout the iteration and not only in the iteration review sessions to ensure that expectations are aligned.
  • After the demonstration, the Product Owners reviews the commitments made at the Iteration Planning Meeting and declares which items are considered done.
  • Incomplete items are added to the product backlog and reprioritised against other items.
  • It is an opportunity to get the end users involved and iteratively refine everyone’s understanding of the requirement.

When?

  • At end of an Iteration.
  • Maximum one hour per week of Iteration length.
