Feedback Loop
Common Practice
Concept
A cycle where output is used to improve future work.
Plain English explanation
A feedback loop is when you build something, get feedback on it, and use that feedback to improve the next version. It turns response into learning.
Why it matters
Fast feedback helps teams avoid building the wrong thing and improves quality quickly.
How it works
Scrum creates feedback loops through Sprints, Reviews, and daily collaboration.
Example
Users test a feature and give feedback, which the team uses to improve it in the next Sprint.
Common myths
Feedback is not just collected — it must be used to create improvement.
Key points
- Drives learning
- Improves outcomes
