How to Get Ready for a Business Review?

Similarly to full-fledged user acceptance testing, a customer performs a review of the delivered product at the end of each sprint.

Such a review does not include thorough risk planning or deep analysis of complex features. However, a specialist from software testing company[1] and a product owner need to carefully prepare themselves to a review, and it’s better to start this process before the sprint begins. They need to keep in mind that it’s a business review, not a technical one.

Therefore, it is better not to rely on too many specific terms related to functional testing[2], performance testing, security testing, automated testing[3] and other technically specialized areas. Instead, it is crucial for a product owner to define the business value of the product.

How to Prepare for a Business Review?

• Go through the entire backlog and determine product acceptance criteria.
• Think over positive and negative scenarios based on acceptance criteria.
• If there are high-risk acceptance criteria, create separate scenarios for them.
• Ask for real-life use cases to be demonstrated during a review.
• Find the product areas where business processes are weak or can be blocked.
• Determine whether new features can adversely affect an established workflow.

Not all aspects can be examined during a business review. That’s why thorough planning is vital.
