About this template

A risk‑focused sprint review that surfaces new underwriting policies, stops hazardous processes, and preserves effective safeguards.

When to use this template

Use when the team needs to evaluate risk management practices, policy changes, or process reliability within a sprint.

How to facilitate

1

Gather the team in a virtual or physical space and set a timer for the session

2

Ask participants to write down items for each column on sticky notes or digital cards

3

Collect all notes, group similar ideas, and discuss each column starting with Initiate New Policies, then Halt Ineffective Processes, and finally Preserve Proven Safeguards

4

Vote on the top three items in each column using dot voting or emoji reactions

5

Create concrete action items for the highest‑priority items, assign owners, and add them to the sprint backlog

Pro Tips

Encourage participants to frame ideas in terms of risk exposure and mitigation rather than just effort

Use a quick pulse check at the end to gauge confidence in the new policies and identify any lingering concerns

FAQ

What if the team struggles to identify new policies?

Prompt them with examples of recent claim challenges or regulatory updates and ask how the workflow could adapt to address those risks.

How do we prevent the discussion from becoming a blame session?

Frame the Halt column as identifying risky processes, not pointing fingers, and focus on systemic improvements rather than individual performance.

Can this format be used for non‑risk topics?

Yes, the structure works for any area where you want to start, stop, and continue practices, but the language can be adjusted to fit the context.
