The Scrum Team inspects people, interactions, processes, tools, and the Definition of Done, then agrees on a few testable improvements.

Sprint Retrospective
Purposedifferent
When teams need a reliable default path for frequent use, sprawl quickly emerges without any guiding logic. Golden Path bundles the preferred path so good practice becomes easy and deviation becomes deliberate.When a sprint is over and friction shouldn't simply be carried forward, it opens the view onto collaboration and patterns. It creates space to see causes and changes together.
