Discussing Progress
Aside from getting feedback on the current state of the product, it’s also important to discuss how it’s progressed compared to the plan. Keeping stakeholders in the loop on the budget and schedule will help everyone determine the next steps to take.
This is where the Burndown Chart can come in handy because it visualizes the overall work done compared to the remaining work. It helps everyone understand the trend in what work can be finished over time, and what needs to be prioritized in the upcoming Sprints to ensure that value is maximized.
Involving the Right People
Regardless of what approach is taken in demonstrating and validating the Sprint and the product, it’s important to involve key stakeholders in validating the product increment, as the wrong people can only result to missing the feedback the Scrum Team needs. The right people are often those who have the biggest interest in the product.
