You are leading an agile project to develop a mobile banking application. The team has just completed their second sprint and is preparing for the sprint retrospective. Several team members have mentioned challenges with the current definition of done, which seems unclear for certain user stories. As the project manager, you want to ensure the retrospective is productive and leads to actionable improvements. What should be the primary focus of this retrospective meeting?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B. The primary purpose of a sprint retrospective is to reflect on the team's process and identify improvements (what went well, what didn't, and what to improve), which directly addresses the team's concern about the definition of done. This aligns with the agile principle of continuous improvement and team self-reflection. Option A is incorrect because while celebrating successes is part of retrospectives, the primary focus is on identifying improvements, especially when specific challenges have been raised. Option C contradicts the blame-free, collaborative nature of retrospectives. Option D describes sprint planning, which is a separate ceremony.
