Why each option
To provide a board member with insight into project scope progression in an agile environment, the project manager should invite them to the Sprint Review.
While a separate demo could be arranged, the Sprint Review is an existing, scheduled, and official agile ceremony specifically designed for demonstrating progress to stakeholders, making it the most efficient and standard choice.
The Sprint Review is a formal event in Scrum where the development team demonstrates the completed work Increment to stakeholders, discusses what was done and what has changed, and gathers feedback. This meeting provides the most appropriate and transparent opportunity for the board member to observe tangible project progress and understand the evolution of the project's scope through demonstrated deliverables.
The Sprint Retrospective is an internal team meeting focused on process improvement and team dynamics, making it unsuitable for external stakeholders like board members to observe project scope progression.
The Daily Standup is a brief, internal team synchronization and planning meeting for the next 24 hours, and it is not an appropriate forum for external stakeholders to gain a comprehensive view of project scope progression.

Carlos M.Jul 3, 2026B is the answer. The sprint review is specifically designed to demonstrate working deliverables and progress toward the project scope, which is exactly what the board member wants to see. The retrospective is for internal team process improvement, and the daily standup is not a status presentation for stakeholders. A separate demo just creates unnecessary overhead when the sprint review already serves this purpose.
Bao N.Jul 4, 2026Agree on B, and one extra angle: the sprint review also lets the board member give feedback in the moment, which a separate demo would not.
Ola B.Jul 5, 2026Leaned toward A, but the sprint review is where stakeholders see the work.
Anjali D.Jul 5, 2026B confirmed. D tripped up several of us, but standup is for the team.
Bao N.Jul 5, 2026Picking C. Board member wants to see delivery progress so retrospective shows the real story.
Ola B.Jul 7, 2026B is correct here because a sprint review is where you actually demonstrate delivered work to stakeholders, which is what a board member checking delivery progress needs. The retrospective is an internal team conversation about process improvement, not a progress showcase.
