Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is to identify opportunities for improvement and make adjustments for the next Sprint. Retrospective meetings are a key component of the Agile methodology and are intended to be a safe space for team members to reflect on their performance and identify areas for improvement. The focus should be on the process and not individuals, and the goal is to identify ways to work better as a team in the next Sprint.Celebrating successes and congratulating top performers can be done during other meetings, and discussing new feature requests and changes to the product backlog can be done during backlog refinement sessions.Discussion
