What does a retrospective aim to achieve after a design sprint is completed?

A retrospective aims to evaluate team performance and gather feedback after a design sprint is completed. This process allows team members to reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and how to improve in future sprints. By facilitating open discussions, it encourages team members to share their experiences and insights, fostering continuous improvement in collaboration, communication, and overall workflow. The focus is on understanding the team's dynamics and identifying areas for enhancement, which ultimately leads to better outcomes in subsequent design sprints.

The other options do not align with the core purpose of a retrospective. For instance, raising funding for future projects is typically done through pitches and proposals rather than reflective exercises. Creating a new design challenge or presenting the final product to stakeholders are also distinct tasks that do not center on team evaluation and feedback.
