Iteration Demo and Review is about demonstrating and celebrating the hard work of the entire team.
Running an effective Iteration Demo and Review meeting is the foundation of this principle.
At the end of an iteration, the entire team meets to reflect on the iteration. Attendees include:
The goal of the Iteration Demo and Review meeting is to create visibility around what occurred in the course of the iteration and to amplify learning about what could then be planned for the next iteration. The Delivery Team presents the done items in a demonstration. Done items are all items that have been accepted by the Product Owner. The demonstration invites clarification, reflection, and celebration with regard to the team's commitment.
The meeting also invites inspection of the metrics that show what occurred in accepting (or not accepting) items. The attendees evaluate:
At the end of a good meeting, all attendees have a clear understanding of the completed iteration as well as a good sense of the value that was delivered. With this information, the Product Owner continues work on value definition in the form of backlog priorities and details. The team continues its work by taking the learning and applying it to the next Iteration Planning meeting. The Scrum Master collects action items and ensures each has an owner. The Scrum Master then takes on the ownership of ensuring each action item is completed.
