HKSM

A meeting where the Scrum Master and Scrum Team reflect on the Sprint to capture lessons learned. These insights are documented and used to improve upcoming Sprints.

Key Points

• Conducted at the end of each Sprint to inspect team practices and identify improvements.
• Attended by the Scrum Master and Scrum Team; the focus is on process, teamwork, and tools.
• Results in documented lessons and clear action items to enhance the next Sprint.
• Emphasizes continuous improvement, not evaluating individual performance.

Example

After a two-week Sprint, the Scrum Master facilitates a Retrospect Sprint. The team notes delays caused by late code reviews and unclear test data. They agree on actions: introduce a daily code review rotation, prepare test data on day 1, and add both to the definition of done. These items are recorded and planned for the next Sprint.
