Make Your Agile Retrospectives More Valuable
Session type: Full-day tutorial
Speaker: Ben Linders
Target audience: Developers, tech leads, Scrum masters, agile coaches, product owners, (senior) managers
The agile manifesto proposes that a “team reflects on how to become more effective”. Agile retrospectives can be used to inspect and adapt the way of working. They help teams to address impediments and optimize their flow, by deploying agile and lean practices in an effective way.
The retrospective facilitator (often the scrum master) should have a toolbox of retrospective exercises, and be able to pick the most effective ones. Retrospectives are a great way for teams to improve their way of working, to become more agile and lean. Getting actions out of a retrospective that are doable, and getting them done helps teams to learn and improve continuously.
