4. Sprint retrospective

Duration – 1–3 hours

Members - Scrum master, development team

The sprint retrospective is a time for the team to reflect on the past sprint, discussing what went well, what could be improved, and any action items to address in the next sprint. This ceremony fosters continuous improvement and helps the team optimize their processes and performance
