The Sprint Review

Similarly, the sprint review offers an open forum for questions. Not only are stakeholders allowed to give feedback, they are encouraged. If they like or dislike features, or need clarification on how something works, they can voice these concerns. The scrum team then sees where they may need to explain things better, or how to change development moving forward.

Roles in the Sprint Review Meeting

Most people consider the product owner the key role of the sprint review meeting. For most parts of the sprint review, the product owner is the role who approves or rejects the sprint deliverables. Product owners are responsible for interacting with stakeholders, and the most important purpose of the sprint review is showing stakeholders what new features are in the product. No other roles of a scrum team have customer-facing responsibilities.

On the communication front, Scrum Masters would also have a responsibility in the sprint review meeting. The Scrum Master is typically in charge of coordinating different roles and guiding the Agile development process. As such, it would be up to the Scrum Master to make sure everyone on the team is informed.
