In a retrospective meeting, some team members are reluctant to provide feedback. What should you do to encourage their participation?

Generate feedback on their behalf Ask them to provide feedback after the meeting Ignore their reluctance and proceed Create a safe environment and use anonymous feedback techniques Allow only positive feedback Force team members to provide feedback

Correct Answer: Discuss the estimation process and identify possible improvements

Discussing the estimation process and identifying possible improvements helps the team learn from past mistakes and make better estimations in the future. Ignoring the problem or blaming individuals will not lead to improvement.

Correct Answer: Communicate the importance of retrospectives and propose possible solutions to help the team member attend
