2. I’m Wouter Gheysen, Certified Scrum Master and
Business Growth Designer.
Facilitating retrospectives is my favorite part of
Scrum.
Finding new ways to improve the retrospectives
and avoid boredom can be a challenge.
That’s the reason I’ve created a list of websites
and books where great Retrospective exercises
can be found.
About me

3. Why Retrospectives?

4. At regular intervals, the team reflects
on how to become more effective,
then tunes and adjusts its behavior
accordingly.
- Agile Manifesto

5. “Retrospectives offer organizations a formal
method for preserving the valuable lessons
learned from the successes and failures of
every project. These lessons and the
changes identified by the community will
foster stronger teams and savings on
subsequent efforts.”
Project Retrospectives: A Handbook for Team Reviews

6. Set Stage – Organize meeting – Involves setting up of the meeting
by the facilitator (PM., scrum master, etc.) and sending a meeting
invitation to all the required team members and stakeholders.
Gather Data – Once the meeting starts, gather all the ideas,
opinions, concerns that the team members might have.
Generate Insights – After the data is gathered, meaningful analytics
have to be identified and patterns have to be created. The idea is
to identify trends and resolve them.
Create Actions – Once the underlying issues are identified, create
action points to resolve them and assign
Wrap Up – Thank the team for their time and for their participation
and share the action points.

Running Agile Perspectives

17. Agile Retrospective
Making Good teams great
Project retrospectives help teams examine what went right
and what went wrong on a project. But traditionally,
retrospectives are only helpful at the end of the
project--too late to help. You need agile retrospectives that
are iterative and incremental. You need to accurately find
and fix problems to help the team today.
Now, Derby and Larsen show you the tools, tricks, and tips
you need to fix the problems you face on a software
development project on an on-going basis. You'll see how to
architect retrospectives in general, how to design them
specifically for your team and organization, how to run them
effectively, how to make the needed changes, and how to
scale these techniques up. You'll learn how to deal with
problems, and implement solutions effectively throughout
the project--not just at the end.

18. Project Retrospectives
A handbook for team reviews
With detailed scenarios, imaginative illustrations, and step-by-step
instructions, consultant Norman L. Kerth guides readers through
productive, painless retrospectives of project performance.
For a retrospective to be effective and successful, though, it needs
to be safe. Kerth shows facilitators and participants how to defeat
the fear of retribution and establish an air of mutual trust. One tool
is Kerth's Prime Directive: Regardless of what we discover, we must
understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job he or
she could, given what was known at the time, his or her skills and
abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand.

19. Getting Value out of Agile
Retrospectives
A handbook for team reviews
With plenty of exercises for your personal
retrospective toolbox, Getting Value out of Agile
Retrospectives will help you to become more
proficient in doing retrospectives and to get more
out of them.

exercises for facilitating retrospectives, supported
with the “what” and “why” of retrospectives, the
business value and benefits that they bring, and
advice for introducing and improving retrospectives.
This is a book for agile coaches, scrum masters,
project managers, product managers and facilitators
who already have some experience with
retrospectives.
