Abstract
From the name of this chapter, it appears that this is a repetition of what has already been covered so far in the book. In fact, that is indeed right. Almost everywhere we have seen how feedback and continuous improvement is an integral part of all Agile practices. This is the seventh and last domain from the PMI-ACP course outline.
