A sprint retrospective is a recurring meeting held at the end of each sprint in agile development frameworks like Scrum. Its primary purpose is for the development team to inspect the past sprint and identify opportunities for improvement. The retrospective is a crucial ceremony for fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation within the team.

During a sprint retrospective, the team typically discusses what went well during the sprint, what could have gone better, and what actions can be taken to implement improvements in the next sprint. This is not a blame session but rather a constructive discussion aimed at understanding the team's dynamics, processes, and tools. Common topics include communication, collaboration, technical practices, and the effectiveness of their agile framework.

The output of a sprint retrospective is a set of actionable items that the team commits to implementing in the upcoming sprint. These items are often added to the product backlog or managed as separate improvement tasks. The facilitator, often the Scrum Master, plays a key role in guiding the discussion, ensuring everyone has a voice, and helping the team arrive at meaningful and achievable improvements. The retrospective is a safe space for open and honest feedback, allowing the team to evolve and become more effective over time.
