A project manager oversees a project in an adaptive environment. After each iteration, which type of meeting should the project manager conduct?

The retrospective is a core adaptive ceremony conducted after every iteration to give the team a structured opportunity to reflect on what worked, what did not, and what changes will improve effectiveness. It is the primary vehicle for continuous process improvement in frameworks such as Scrum.

The daily standup is a brief synchronization meeting held each day during an iteration, not a ceremony performed at the iteration's conclusion.

Backlog refinement is an ongoing grooming activity performed during an iteration to prepare upcoming user stories, not a closing meeting.

Iteration planning occurs at the start of an iteration to select and plan the work to be completed, not at the end.
