What is Retrospectives?

Regular meetings where a team reflects on how it worked and chooses what to change.

What you learn

End each retrospective with one change to try, and an owner.

When it helps

the same process problem keeps returning, or a team needs to learn from a project.

Use it at work

  1. Ask what went well, what went badly and what was confusing.
  2. Group the notes, and pick the most important pattern.
  3. Choose one change, with an owner and a date.
  4. Start the next retrospective by checking that change.

Your output

At your next retrospective, end by choosing one change, an owner and a date to check whether it worked.

Watch for

Listing problems without choosing a change, or choosing changes nobody owns.
