Sprint Review Template
A sprint review template for agile teams that wraps up every sprint cleanly. Covers what was completed, demo notes, stakeholder feedback, what went well, what didn't, action items, and velocity tracking. Pairs with the sprint planning template — planning kicks off the sprint; this template closes it.
What You'll Get
- Sprint summary section — Sprint number, goal, dates, and overall status
- Completed work table — Items finished, status, and demo readiness
- Demo notes — What was shown to stakeholders and their feedback
- Retrospective — What went well, what didn't, and action items
- Velocity snapshot — Story points or hours committed vs completed

What Happens in a Sprint Review?
A sprint review is the meeting at the end of each sprint where the team demonstrates completed work to stakeholders, collects feedback, and documents what shipped. It's the moment where the sprint's output becomes visible to people outside the development team — product owners, clients, and anyone with a stake in the outcome.
The sprint review is not the same as a retrospective. The review focuses on the product — what was built, whether it meets expectations, and what stakeholders think. The retrospective focuses on the process — how the team worked together and what to improve. Both happen at the end of the sprint, but they serve different purposes and often have different attendees.
Sprint Review vs Sprint Retrospective
Sprint Review
Happens at the end of each sprint. Focuses on what was built. Attendees include stakeholders. Duration 30–45 min.
- • Demo completed work
- • Collect stakeholder feedback
- • Accept or reject deliverables
- • Update product backlog
Sprint Retrospective
Happens after the sprint review. Focuses on how the team worked. Internal team only. Duration 30–45 min.
- • What went well
- • What didn't
- • Action items for improvement
- • Process changes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sprint review?
A sprint review is the meeting at the end of each sprint where the team demonstrates completed work to stakeholders, collects feedback, and confirms what was delivered. It closes the loop on the sprint.
How long should a sprint review take?
30 to 45 minutes for a two-week sprint. If reviews regularly run longer, scope individual demos more tightly and save detailed discussions for follow-up.
What is the difference between a sprint review and a sprint retrospective?
The review focuses on the product — what was built, stakeholder feedback, demo. The retrospective focuses on the process — what went well, what didn't, how to improve. Review comes first; retro follows.
Who should attend the sprint review?
The development team, product owner, and relevant stakeholders. For agency work, this often includes the client. Keep the audience small enough for meaningful feedback.
What if not all sprint items are completed?
It happens. Demo what's done, explain what's deferred and why, and carry incomplete items to the next sprint planning. Use the review to understand if estimates need recalibration.
Should we track velocity?
Yes, but as a trend, not a target. Velocity helps predict future capacity and improves estimation accuracy. Don't use it to pressure the team into committing more than they can deliver.
