It helps promote ownership and responsibility by the project team Common issues that should be addressed are identified by asking the underlined questions:
Participants
- Development Team
- Scrum Master
- Product Owner (Optional, as the audience)

Time-box
This ceremony has a time-box of 3 hours for 1 month sprint.
Three important Questions
- What went well over the last sprint?
- What didn’t go so well?
- What could we do differently to improve?
Agile is all about constant improvement, and sprint retrospective is specifically designed to help the scrum team do better. This scrum ceremony should provide a blameless space for members of the team to provide their honest feedback and recommendations for improvements and drive the change along. In addition to this, all actionable feedback should be collected and assigned so that members of the scrum team understand who is responsible for what.
