Sprint review, approvals, feedback, and repeat sprint cycle

Review activity

Each sprint ends with a review of working software. The team demonstrates completed stories against their approved acceptance criteria and presents supporting QA evidence.

Review inputs

• Sprint goal.
• Completed stories.
• Acceptance-test evidence.
• Open defects.
• Updated risks.
• Change requests.
• Updated release forecast.

Story decisions

• Accepted: Acceptance criteria and Definition of Done satisfied.
• Accepted with follow-up: Story is acceptable, but a separate non-blocking improvement enters the backlog.
• Rejected: Story fails one or more required acceptance criteria and returns to the backlog.

Example sprint approval record

Sprint: 2
Goal: Deliver budgeting and core dashboard reporting
Stories: US-05, US-06, US-09
QA Status: Passed
Severity 1-2 Defects: 0
Product Owner Decision: Accepted

Retrospective

The team reviews delivery process, technical friction, test effectiveness, collaboration, and defects. Improvement actions receive identifiers such as IMP-01.

Repeat Sprint activity

After review and retrospective, the Agile lifecycle repeats:

Planning → Requirements/User Stories → Design → Development → Testing → Review → Deployment

New feedback, defects, risks, technical improvements, and approved change requests are reprioritized into the backlog before the next planning activity.
