Three of Cups
"The Successful Sprint Review"
Cups · People & Team▲ Upright -1
The demo went well. Not the rehearsed, stakeholder-friendly theater — the actual sprint review where the team shows real work, the product manager nods because it matches what was discussed, and someone in the audience asks a question that proves they were paying attention. Celebrate this. It does not happen often.
▽ Reversed +1
The sprint review where the demo crashed, the product manager's face went blank, and someone asked 'so what did the team actually do for two weeks?' Three of Cups reversed is collective embarrassment — the shared realization that the team was busy but not aligned, and now everyone knows it.
