In Reviews is where we inspect the newly developed product and get feedback about how it aligns with the need.
Reviews are used to demonstrate and inspect an increment of the solution with stakeholders in order to elicit feedback to determine if the solution being developed aligns with the need.
Agile Extension to the BABOK® Guide – section 7.15
Elements
To perform a review, you first need a part of the solution to be delivered.
You also need to involve stakeholders, the development team, and some customer representative such as a product owner. Each of these may provide both positive or negative feedback which may impact what happens next.
Description
Reviews occur during Delivery, and are aligned with the end of each iteration. This often involves a demonstration of completed work in an effort to determine whether this chunk meets the intended purpose within the overall need.
The context is communications and the audience is external stakeholders.
Usage Considerations
Some of the strengths and weaknesses are that you get rapid feedback to recently produced items
However if too many people are involved, it might be hard to channel that feedback and have it be focused. Also there’s a need to ensure all voices are heard, not just the higher ranking ones.
