Sprint Retrospective

An end-of-Sprint meeting where the team examines how they worked, identifies what went well and what did not, and agrees on specific changes to improve in the next Sprint.

Key Points

  • Held after the Sprint Review and before the next Sprint starts.
  • Includes the whole Scrum Team and focuses on the process and teamwork, not the product.
  • Produces a small set of actionable improvement items to try in the next Sprint.
  • Facilitated to encourage honest inspection and continuous improvement within a timebox.

Example

After a two-week Sprint, the team meets for 60 minutes to analyze their workflow. They note that code reviews were delayed, agree to introduce a daily review window, and decide to limit work in progress to reduce context switching. They add these actions to the next Sprint plan.
