Sprint Retrospective

“Plan your scrum effectively” – Saka Heroji


When Sprint Retrospective Happens
Sprint Retrospective

Sprint retrospectives give the whole Scrum team an opportunity to stop


bumping along for a moment and think

Inside the timebox of the retrospective, teams are free to examine what’s
happening, analyze the way they work, identify ways to improve, and make
plans to implement these improvements

The sprint retrospective is one of the most important and least appreciated
practices in the Scrum framework.
