Maximise your team’s learning opportunities by improving your retrospective practices
The Retrospective Handbook
What happens when you have run hundreds of retrospectives in a wide variety of teams and organisations? Where do you go when you’re trying to learn beyond the basics of a normal retrospective?
This book offers concrete advice grounded in actual experience facilitating retrospectives in a wide variety of circumstances. You will:
- Better understand the role of the facilitator and the trade-offs if you have an “in-team” versus “external” facilitator
- Learn how to avoid common “retrospective smells” and how to keep them effective
- Understand what needs to change when dealing with large scale retrospectives and/or distributed retrospectives
- Learn what you can do during a retrospective to make sure that change really does happen after the retrospective
- And more!
