Phase 3: Review

Inspect the sprint increment with reviews, demos, stakeholder updates, and metrics.

Purpose

The Review phase inspects what was built during the sprint. It covers sprint reviews, demo preparation, stakeholder communication, release documentation, and performance metrics.

Skills

Sprint Review

/pm:sprint-review <project>

Conducts the sprint review — summarizes completed work, compares against the sprint goal, and captures stakeholder feedback.

Output: Sprint review summary, goal achievement, feedback log → .project/<project>/03-review.md

Demo Prep

/pm:demo-prep <project>

Prepares a structured demo script for the sprint review. Organizes features into a narrative flow with talking points and fallback plans.

Output: Demo script, feature walkthrough, talking points → .project/<project>/03-review.md

Stakeholder Update

/pm:stakeholder-update <project>

Output: Executive summary, detailed update, key decisions needed → .project/<project>/03-review.md

Release Notes

/pm:release-notes <project>

Writes release notes for the sprint increment. Covers new features, improvements, bug fixes, and known issues in user-friendly language.

Output: Release notes, changelog, known issues → .project/<project>/03-review.md

Sprint Metrics

/pm:sprint-metrics <project>

Calculates and analyzes sprint metrics — velocity, burndown, scope changes, defect rates, and cycle time.

Output: Velocity chart, burndown analysis, scope change log, cycle time → .project/<project>/03-review.md

Next Phase

After Review, proceed to Improve to run retrospectives, analyze trends, and optimize the process.
