B - Correct From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 51: “The retrospective is about looking at the qualitative (people’s feelings) and quantitative (measurements) data, then using that data to find root causes, designing countermeasures, and developing action plans.”

Selected Answer: C

Outcome Measurement: By measuring the outcomes of improvement actions, the team can determine whether the actions are effective in addressing the concerns. Reporting Results: Regularly reporting the results to the team keeps everyone informed about the progress and effectiveness of the improvement actions. Continuous Feedback Loop: This creates a feedback loop where the team can continuously assess and refine their improvement strategies. Accountability: Measuring and reporting outcomes increases accountability, ensuring that the team remains focused on implementing and tracking improvements. Data-Driven Decisions: This approach allows the team to make data-driven decisions about which actions to continue, modify, or abandon based on their effectiveness.
