# When are the most impactful improvements implemented by the Scrum Team?

The most impactful improvements identified during the [Sprint Retrospective](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/sprint-retrospective/) are addressed as soon as possible, often as early as the next Sprint. This prompt implementation ensures that the team benefits from the improvements without delay, enhancing their effectiveness quickly.

While some improvements may span more than one Sprint, the team revisits them in later Sprint Retrospectives to ensure continuous progress. This ongoing process of inspection and adaptation helps the [Scrum Team](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/scrum-team/) to maintain a high level of performance and adaptability.
