Which Scrum event is focused on continuous improvement?

The Sprint Retrospective is the Scrum event explicitly dedicated to continuous improvement. During this event, the Scrum Team reflects on the past Sprint, discussing what went well, what didn't, and identifying areas for improvement. The primary objective is to foster an open dialogue that encourages team members to share insights and experiences, leading to actionable improvement plans.

The Retrospective allows the team to inspect their work processes and adapt them to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This can include changes to workflows, communication practices, or even how the team collaborates on tasks. By regularly engaging in this reflection and improvement process, the team can continually refine its practices and contribute to increased productivity and satisfaction among team members.

In contrast, while the other Scrum events serve important purposes—such as planning work (Sprint Planning), reviewing completed work (Sprint Review), and synchronizing daily tasks (Daily Scrum)—they do not have the specific focus on learning from experiences and fostering a mindset of continuous improvement that is characteristic of the Sprint Retrospective.
