Different Between Sprint Review and Sprint Restrospective

Sprint review is for everyone involved, especially stakeholders, toinspect where the project is and discuss how to adapt as needed. Sprint review revolves around what was built – the “shippable product increment” produced in the last sprint – and the overall product, not how it was produced.

It is good if Product Owner “represents” stakeholders, but it is even better if they come and see themselves what was accomplished, what runs etc. My advice is to welcome management of all kinds if they want to come to a sprint review, just being sure they know what the purpose of the meeting and their role in it is. Ensuring that and educating them is primarily Product Owner’s job, but of course the Scrum Master may assist him.

Sprint retrospective is primarily for the team to inspect their last sprint, concentrating less on what was done than on how it was done, and then adapt their way of work. I wouldn’t include anyone outside the team in those, besides maybe the Product Owner if he/she wants to join.

A common objection to bringing management of any kind into retrospective is that team may not be comfortable talking about their dirty laundry in front of them. It is indeed very valid – but it is also worth noting that from managements’ prospective this would be a waste of their time to, for example, listen to developers debating how to improve branching in their code repository. Even if the management knew what the heck the team is talking about this is not something they should waste their time on. Managers have lots of things to do (collectively called “bigger picture”) which no one will do for them – this is where their time will be better spent.
