Sprint Review Meetings are held at the completion of each Sprint. The purpose of the meeting is to inspect the results of the Sprint and adapt the Sprint Performance Dashboard metrics and value for next Sprint, if needed. During the Sprint Review Meeting, the team and invited attendees discuss what they achieved during the Sprint, what they need to improve upon in the upcoming Sprint and any obstacles or challenges that may keep the team from meeting its overall objectives. Based on this collaboration, as well as any changes to the Sprint Performance Dashboard during the Sprint, the team determines the next metrics that need to be incorporated to the upcoming Sprint to optimize performance and produce wins. This is an informal meeting and the purpose is to gather feedback and foster transparency among the team.

- The players discuss what went well during the Sprint, what challenges they faces, and how those challenges were overcome, or will be resolved in the upcoming Sprint;
- The lead analyst discusses the Sprint Performance Dashboard as it stands, and projects the likely performance targets necessary to be met in order to reach team goals;
- The entire group collaborates on how it will collectively, and individually, meet performance goals in the upcoming Sprint, which becomes an input to the Sprint Planning Session;
- Review of fan and management approval of the product that the organization is putting on the court;
