Agile software development methods are product-oriented, whereas technical reviews belong to the process-oriented world. The aim of this study was to find out if technical reviews are usable and valuable in the context of agile software development. Based on the literature, it seems that there are agile methods that explicitly contain technical reviews in some form, while others are more against them. The case study was based on experiences gathered during an agile project using the Mobile-D^TM development method. It was found that there are many potential targets for technical reviews in agile development. The main contribution was acceptance test reviews, which improved the product quality and knowledge transfer between team members. However, the actual need and usefulness depends on the requirements of the product and the process used.
