In my first role as a scrum master, I thought the only thing I had to work on was make the developers effective. Little I knew my role also meant that I had to help the product owner be successful and the change the organization. My product owner came to me and said, I need help facilitating the sprint review. What should I do? who should I invite? How can I ensure that I keep everyone on target during the meeting?
At that time, I did not know how I should help him. I pored over books and spoke to several others in user group meetings and came up with the following.
Time box: Up to 4 hours for a one-month sprint
Sprint Review Participants: Scrum team and stakeholders the product owner invites.
Output: Feedback on product increment, changes to the Product Backlog, and
observations on market conditions, budget, etc.
