Which of the following Agile Team responsibilities is associated with the Iteration Retrospective?

The Iteration Retrospective is a dedicated event for the Agile Team to reflect on its process and identify ways to improve its performance. This directly aligns with the SAFe Core Value and Continuous Learning Culture dimension of 'Relentless Improvement.' The primary output of the retrospective is a set of improvement items that the team will action in the next iteration, making the process of continuous enhancement tangible and systematic.

B. Apply systems thinking is a broader SAFe-Lean principle for optimizing the full value stream, not a specific responsibility of the team's internal process retrospective.
C. Take an economic view is a SAFe principle used for decision-making and prioritization, which is more relevant to planning events than process improvement retrospectives.
D. Connect to the customer is the primary focus of the Iteration Review, where the team demonstrates the increment and gets feedback on the product itself.
