Sprint Retrospective
The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The Sprint Retrospective occurs after the Sprint Review and prior to the next Sprint Planning. The Scrum Master ensures that the event takes place and that attendees understand its purpose. This is a time for the Scrum Team to focus on what went well and what to improve in the next Sprint.

The Sprint Retrospective is an important meeting held at the end of each Scrum sprint. Its main goal is for the Scrum team to inspect its processes and improve for the next sprint.
In terms of its operation, the team discusses what went well, what didn't go well, and what changes should be made to improve future sprints. Everyone points out observations, the team collaborates on solutions, and then agrees on a plan of action.
It is often facilitated by the Scrum Master but is a team-driven event, where everyone has an equal voice, and all feedback is welcome.
In an exam situation, when answering questions about the Sprint Retrospective, you should remember:
- Define it accurately
- Mention its purpose
- Explain how it works
- Highlight the role of the Scrum Master and the team
- Discuss the importance of continuous improvement in Scrum
