Which statement best describes the Sprint Review?

• A. An opportunity to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations
• B. A detailed plan for the next Sprint with tasks
• C. A forum for stakeholders to assign new work
• D. A review of the team's process with no product focus

Answer: (A)

The Sprint Review centers on inspecting the Increment and using what’s learned to shape what comes next. It’s a collaborative session where the Scrum Team and stakeholders review what was built, gather feedback, and decide how to adapt the Product Backlog to maximize value going forward. The emphasis is on the product and its progress, not on internal process steps.

That’s why the best description is: an opportunity to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations. It captures both the assessment of what’s done and the decision-making about what to do next, including backlog updates and potential releases.

Why the other ideas don’t fit as well: this event isn’t about detailing the next sprint’s tasks—that happens in Sprint Planning. It’s not a forum for stakeholders to assign work; stakeholders contribute input and feedback, but the team and Product Owner decide what to do next and update the backlog accordingly. And it isn’t a review of the team’s process with no product focus—that would be a Retrospective, which concentrates on process improvements rather than the product increment and backlog.
