What is the analyst's role in the Sprint Review?

• A. Write user stories.
• B. Manage deployment to production.
• C. Identify stakeholders, facilitate discussion between stakeholders and developers, and help integrate feedback into backlog items.
• D. Approve changes to production.

Answer: (C)

In the Sprint Review, the analyst serves as a facilitator who connects stakeholders with the development team, ensuring feedback from the review is captured and translated into actionable backlog items. They help identify who should attend, guide the discussion to surface meaningful insights, and work with the team to turn that feedback into refinements, updated acceptance criteria, or new backlog items for the next sprint. This role supports the purpose of the Sprint Review by making sure stakeholder input directly informs what gets built next. Deployment to production and deciding what to write as stories are outside this collaborative feedback and backlog refinement focus: deployment is an operational task, and writing or owning user stories is typically the product owner's responsibility, with the analyst contributing as needed to translate feedback into backlog work.
