Transform Low Engagement into Active Conversation

Let’s be real—Sprint Reviews should be exciting. You’re showcasing what the team built, gathering feedback, and aligning with stakeholders. But too often, it’s crickets. Either no one shows up, or they’re half-listening, answering emails in the background.



If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you're in the right place.



In the episode, we’re talking about one of the most common challenges Scrum teams face: getting stakeholders to actually care about Sprint Reviews. I’m sharing 5 practical, proven ways to turn your Sprint Reviews into something stakeholders actually want to attend. You’ll learn how to:



✅ Pick a time that really works for them

✅ Cut out the boring stuff and focus on what matters

✅ Let stakeholders drive the discussion, not just sit through it

✅ Communicate the purpose in a way that makes sense

✅ And, of course, respect their time like the professionals they are



These aren’t just tips—they’re mindsets that can help you transform passive attendees into active contributors. By the end of this episode, you’ll have everything you need to make Sprint Reviews more engaging, collaborative, and valuable for everyone involved.
