creating deliverables that are potentially shippable. It also includes learning from each set of completed

activities in order to achieve continuous improvement. Within the cross-functional team, it is important to have

the skills necessary to perform quality control activities. During the Sprint Retrospect Meeting, team members

discuss lessons learned. These lessons act as inputs into continuous improvement and contribute to the

improvement of ongoing quality control.
