Retrospectives

PreviousScrumNextProject-to-Product principles

Last updated 2 years ago

5 steps

  • Set the stage : Regardless of what we discover, we understand that everyone did the best job he or she could

  • Gather data : What went well and what did not.

  • Generate insights : Teams typically identify why things happened and what should be done more, done less and tried out.

  • Decide what to do : Deciding on specific, meaningful, agreed and realistic actions that will be done in the next Sprint

  • Close the retrospective : R.O.T.I

Anti patterns

  • What happens in retro, does not stay in retro

    • The retrospective is a safe place : communicates only the taken actions

  • Change the world

    • Small changes : do not try to change everything at once

  • No time to improve

    • Improvement is part of the life of any team

    • Time needs to be taken

  • No responsibility is taken (The scrum master will do it)

    • Team responsibility (Not a 1 person job)

  • Wishful thinking actions

    • Concrete actions, actions

  • Managers want to attend

    • It is not good : safe place (silence law with managers)

  • One man show

    • Everyone has the right/duty to speak

    • Scrum Master has to make this happen

  • No review of past action items

    • Every actions must be followed
