This public Trello board is available as a means of sharing retrospective techniques.
I’d also like to thank members of the Agile community for collaborating on this with me over the years, Ben Linders in particular.
Categories
As of this moment, the board has the following categories, from left to right:
- Fast retrospectives (just as its name implies, some retrospective techniques that can be especially helpful when you and or the team(s) you’re working with are pressed for time)
- Using TCP in retrospectives (an overview of how to use the The Core Commitments and Core Protocols (TCP) in a retro context)
- Role-playing retrospectives (a collection of techniques that is particularly good when exploring the more creative side of team dynamics)
- All-in-one retro plans (a collection of plans that walk through each of the phases described in Derby & Larsen’s Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great book)
- Retrospective Gamification (a handful of techniques I’ve created that directly involve participants in making choices that inform the structure of the retrospective itself)
- Futurespectives (Examples of retrospective techniques that focus on the conversation on the future)
- Setting the Stage (techniques that are well-suited to the first of Derby & Larsen’s five phases)
- Gathering Data(techniques that are well-suited to the second of Derby & Larsen’s five phases)
- Generating Insights (techniques that are well-suited to the third of Derby & Larsen’s five phases)
- Deciding What to Do (techniques that are well-suited to the fourth of Derby & Larsen’s five phases)
- Close the Retrospective (techniques that are well-suited to the fifth of Derby & Larsen’s five phases)
