those in the next iteration

those in the next iteration————Correct Answer: D The retrospective is a meeting for the

(b)). The retrospective is a meeting to discuss lessons learned not to start working on
pending items. Ideally the team should identify the top few actions and focus on addressing
those rather than taking on too many and lose focus. It is a best practice to prioritize even
improvement actions and implement them in the ‘Agile way’.
