Presentation I created to coach teams on importance of keeping Sprint Retrospective in their cadence. Includes techniques for more effective and uplifting retrospectives.

1. Too much time spent in these silly “Scrum” meetings
Developers not getting enough work done
Can’t find people at their desks
Productivity is abysmal
Get rid of one Scrum meeting NOW!

6. Who

10. What went well?
What didn’t go well?
The one best improvement we can
make for next time?

13. Process Product Team
To improve our product and process we must first improve ourselves
Plan, Do, Check, Adjust
Where do we implement the outcome of our retro?
