In the context of product ownership analysis, practitioners can use reviews to verify work products or working solutions and elicit feedback to learn from stakeholders. Reviewing a working product increment is more relatable to stakeholders than evaluating the PBIs, user stories, or other product documentation. It also elicits better feedback than other forms of reviews.

Outcomes from reviews include:

• A shared understanding of the evolving product,
• Validation of product alignment with customer needs,
• Identification of defects or possible resolutions to the defects, and
• Determination of next steps or changes in priorities.

Reviews are equally important when looking at smaller incremental work, such as a user story or a small number of user stories. The work needs to be understood by key stakeholders, agreed upon, and delivered. The Developer, QA and the POA Practitioner form a triad. These key stakeholders evaluate the progress of the set of stories from planning to delivery. Such reviews are often referred to as the Three Amigos review.

POA Domain	Reviews:
Applying Foundational Concepts	Reviewing work products involves assessing: Product Strategies, Roadmaps, Team structure, and Product concepts. Rather than focusing on deciding whether a work product is right or wrong, reviews invite discussions and feedback.
Cultivate Customer Intimacy	Although reviews are often internal to the product team (that might not have customer representation), POA Practitioners present the customer perspective. Additionally, customer reviews can be conducted to discover the nuances of customer needs that result in more aligned products.
Engage the Whole Team	Due to lack of time, reviews are often conducted with a small number of team members. However, reviews are meant to elicit feedback from the entire team. POA Practitioners must ensure that the whole team is represented, and all the key stakeholders are present in a review meeting. The “three amigos” can represent various perspectives within the team and fulfill the role of key stakeholders.
Make an Impact	Reviews often accompany a demonstration of the working product that helps garner more attention and feedback from the participants.
Deliver Often	Reviews must be conducted, at least for each iteration of product increment, so that feedback from the team can be actioned through managing the product backlog. It produces better alignment and de-risks the product from major surprises when released to the customer.
Learn Fast	Reviews ensure that learning from a delivered work product is immediate by eliciting first- level feedback from the team since they have the best understanding of the product. The customer perspectives are added by the POA Practitioner in review sessions. By conducting reviews often, the risk of developing unwanted features is reduced.
Obsess About Value	POA Practitioners should ensure that reviews demonstrate the value of the work product in question. The focus should be on the value delivered rather than the amount of effort spent, or the process of development, or any cross- dependencies etc., that digress the reviews from value discussion.
