Sprint Retrospective
The Sprint Retrospective helps the Scrum Team inspect how they worked and plan improvements.
Plain English explanation
The Sprint Retrospective is where the Scrum Team improves itself. The team looks at how the Sprint went and chooses ways to work better.
What it means
The Retrospective focuses on people, interactions, processes, tools, and Definition of Done. It helps the team strengthen quality and collaboration.
Why it matters
Teams that never reflect repeat the same mistakes. The Retrospective creates a safe space for continuous improvement.
How it works
The Scrum Team discusses what helped, what hurt, and what should change. The most useful improvements may be added to the next Sprint Backlog.
Key idea
The Retrospective is not about blame. It is about making the next Sprint better.
Key points
- Ends the Sprint
