Frequently asked questions

What is a retrospective?

A retrospective is a meeting at the end of each sprint where the team reflects on what went well, what could improve, and commits to action items. It’s a continuous improvement practice.

What are action items in a retrospective?

Action items are tracked and implemented in the next sprint. They represent concrete steps taken to address identified issues or enhance team performance.

How do retrospectives help teams evolve their processes?

Retrospectives create a safe space for feedback, allowing teams to identify areas for improvement and adjust their workflows accordingly. This iterative process drives ongoing evolution and optimization.

What are story points used for?

Story points are relative units of measure used to estimate the complexity, effort, and risk associated with individual user stories. They help teams prioritize work and plan sprints effectively.
