Agile Retrospectives

Retrospectives provide a frame to help teams inspect, reflect, and adapt their methods, teamwork, and organizational relationships. Regular iteration retrospectives are the inspect and adapt cycle that helps a team continually improve. But if your team repeats the mantra "What did we do well? What should we do differently?" you may not be realizing the benefits of reflection.

In this interactive session, we'll do a small project (no programming required!) and then experience a retrospective. Then Esther will share a flexible framework that you can use to make retrospectives more valuable to your team.
