What could be a reason for stakeholder disappointment during a Sprint Review?

Stakeholder disappointment during a Sprint Review can arise if the Product Owner has not been interacting frequently with stakeholders. This interaction is crucial as it ensures that stakeholders are engaged and informed about the product's progress, goals, and any changes that may affect them. Regular communication helps align stakeholder expectations with the actual development work being done. If stakeholders feel disconnected or uninformed due to inadequate interaction, they may express disappointment during the Sprint Review when the actual output does not meet their expectations or needs.

This lack of engagement could lead to misunderstandings about project priorities or the direction of the product, ultimately resulting in stakeholders feeling that their input is not valued. The Sprint Review is an opportunity for stakeholders to provide feedback and influence the product's future direction, making the Product Owner’s role in maintaining an open line of communication vital for a successful collaboration and the overall satisfaction of stakeholders with the team's work.
