Retrospectives
At regular intervals, the team meets to discuss
- What's working well
- What's working poorly
- What processes should we try next?
- Appreciations for teammates
- Any last thoughts?
Retrospectives are...
- facilitated by a coach or other team member
- not by a manager or tech lead
- driven by the attendees in the moment
- not by an agenda agreed upon beforehand
- focused on the process in general, or on a specific crisis or problem that happened recently
- not a status meeting
- not for management to make announcements or impose a new rule
- not to discuss features or planning (though it might spawn other meetings about these items)
Retrospective Attitude
- keep an open mind
- be respectful
- listen more than you speak
