Retrospective
In plain terms
A meeting to reflect on and improve the team's process.
Going deeper
A retrospective gathers the team to discuss what went well, what didn't, and what to change, driving continuous improvement. It's structured self-reflection.
Under the hood
Held at iteration end; effective retros produce concrete, owned action items, not just venting.
Examples
Sprint retro, process improvement, lessons learned, action items, Agile.
Think of it like...
Like a post-game review where the team plans how to play better next time.
