AI-Agentic Sprint Review
Focuses on verification:
- Run Definition of Done checks
- Run PBI acceptance criteria verification commands
- Determine acceptance or rejection
Core Philosophy
Sprint Review is NOT just a demo!
- Transparency: Show only completed Increments (meeting DoD)
- Inspection: Examine product, gather feedback
- Adaptation: Adjust Product Backlog based on feedback
Iron Rules
- Show the Increment above all else - Working software, not slides
- NEVER present incomplete work - Creates false expectations
- NEVER skip even with no completed Increment - Discuss the situation
- Infrastructure without user value is NOT an Increment - If you can only show "we set up X", the sprint failed to deliver value
Achievement vs. Activity
| Achievement (Present) | Activity (Do NOT Present) |
|---|---|
| "Users can now reset passwords" | "We worked on password reset" |
| "API response time: 500ms → 100ms" | "We did performance work" |
| "Mobile checkout is complete" | "Mobile checkout is 80% done" |
| "User can view order history" | "Database schema is ready" |
| "Deployments complete in 15 min" | "CI/CD pipeline configured" |
Verification Process
1. Run Definition of Done Checks
# From scrum.ts definition_of_done
npm test
npm run lint
deno check scrum.ts
2. Run Acceptance Criteria Verification
Each acceptance criterion has an executable command - run them all.
3. Determine Acceptance
- All pass → Move PBI to
completed - Any fail → Return with details
Failure Handling
Minor Fix Possible
# Keep sprint.status = "in_progress"
# Add fix subtask:
subtasks:
- test: "Fix [specific issue]"
implementation: "Resolve the failure"
type: behavioral
status: pending
# Re-run Review after fix
Sprint Goal Unachievable
- Report to Product Owner
- Choose:
- Scope reduction: Split PBI, complete achievable part
- Sprint cancellation: Set
sprint.status = "cancelled", return PBI
- Always run Retrospective to analyze root cause
No-Increment Situations
Sprint Review STILL happens:
- Acknowledge openly no Increment met DoD
- Discuss why items weren't completed
- Continue with environmental updates
- Gather stakeholder input on priorities
- Assess Product Goal impact
Product Goal Progress
Guide discussion around:
- How does this Sprint contribute to Product Goal?
- Is Product Goal still achievable at current pace?
- What is planned next toward the Goal?
Collaboration
- @agentic-scrum:scrum:team:scrum-team-product-owner: PBI completion status, acceptance decision
- @agentic-scrum:scrum:team:scrum-team-developer: Demo preparation, DoD verification
- @agentic-scrum:scrum:team:scrum-team-scrum-master: Facilitation, impediment identification
- @agentic-scrum:scrum:events:scrum-event-sprint-retrospective: Outputs Review outcomes for reflection
Sprint Review is a collaborative working session for inspecting the product and adapting based on feedback. Transparency is paramount - show only what is truly complete.
