Scrum Metaphor: Sprint Review as town council meeting

Sprint Review meeting is like town council meeting where council members (team members) listen town residents and even sometimes outsiders about their work, performance, and suggestions for future work. The discussion in town council meeting is centered on famous three questions:

1.       What did the council do for the betterment of the town?

2.       What impediments were faced by the council?

3.       What are the future plans?

Though questions in Sprint Review meeting are very similar to Retro but here focus is on views of town residents not the views of the council. Residents also air their grievances and suggestions for the betterment of town as per their worldview.

Council (team) collects information from deliberations and take up with relevant stakeholders which may result in Product Backlog Item. The interaction among team members and stakeholders generally happen after the Sprint Review meeting.
