How does Scrum encourage continuous improvement?

Short answer: Scrum fosters continuous improvement through: Sprint Retrospective – A dedicated meeting at the end of each Sprint to reflect on what went well and what can be improved.

Explain a bit more

Empowered Teams – Teams are encouraged to experiment and adapt their process. Transparency and Inspection – Constant review of progress and adaptation as needed. Example: After noticing delays in code reviews, a team agrees in the Retrospective to set aside daily time for peer reviews. In the next Sprint, turnaround time improves noticeably.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

Agile for ShopNest means ship a thin checkout slice every sprint, get feedback, then improve—not a 6-month big-bang release.
