A Quick Tutorial for Improving Your Retrospectives
This retrospective tutorial will teach you how to improve the effectiveness of your retros, encourage engagement and continuously improve as an agile team.
I spoke recently on the topic of retrospectives and continuous improvement. Readers of this blog may recall that I have written no less than 10 articles on this site on the topic of retrospectives.
IMHO, the retrospective is one of the most important meetings in the Scrum Framework. Sadly, it is also the agile technique that is most frequently butchered by hacks.
I know, I know, that sounds like hyperbole. And perhaps my own experience is jaded from working with so many brand new Scrum Masters who may or may not have had much training in the role. (Unskilled Scrum Masters is another topic we can rant on in a separate post!)
In any case, I put together this quick tutorial for those who are interested in improving their retrospectives. Good retrospectives will build team morale and esprit de corps, improve trust and engagement, yield better quality improvement actions and boost continuous improvement.
