Sprint Report

Transparency and Visualization is an important aspect of Agile way of working. The Sprint report (team wise) is powerful a tool to enhance transparency and create a collaborative relationship between team and key stakeholder (sponsors, management, leadership and immediate customer). Such a report is specially more useful in a client-vendor (buyer-seller) setup.

Its important to understand that the aim of this report is not to create control, rather its to enhance transparency and trigger two way dialogue at right time.
