A sprint retrospective is a meeting that takes place at the end of a sprint in the Agile framework. The purpose of the meeting is to reflect on what went well and what could be improved for the next sprint. During the meeting, the team discusses what went well in the sprint, what could be improved, and what they will commit to improving in the next sprint. The Scrum Master encourages the team to improve its process and practices to make it more effective and enjoyable for the next sprint. The team identifies the most helpful changes to improve its effectiveness, and the most impactful improvements are addressed as soon as possible. The meeting is less focused on specific deliverables and more focused on process improvements to optimize the teams sprint workflow. The sprint retrospective helps the team celebrate and continue doing things that are going well, acknowledge and address areas for improvement, assess risks and concerns, and formulate enhancement tactics to make the next sprint even better. The meeting is usually timeboxed to a maximum of three hours for a one-month sprint, and for shorter sprints, the event is usually shorter. The retrospective is one of the five Scrum events, and it is a safe space for the team to be open with one another. The team should focus on process and people, not the product or output of the sprint. The retrospective can be conducted in many ways, but a common approach is the start-stop-continue meeting, where each team member is asked to identify specific things that the team should start doing, stop doing, and continue doing. After an initial list of ideas has been brainstormed, teams will commonly vote on specific items to focus on during the coming sprint.
