Retrospective

Retrospectives are a critical part of Agile, and typically take the form of meetings held by a team at the end of a sprint cycle. To get us acclimated to that process, we will use the format of a retrospectives to guide today’s reflection.

This article gives a nice overview to the role of retrospectives.

  1. What went well, that I might forget if I don’t write down?
  2. What did I learn today?
  3. What should I do differently next time?
  4. What still puzzles me, or what do I need to learn more about?
  5. Thinking about each of your assignments for the day, reflect on:
    • Is the assignment complete? If not, where exactly did you leave off, and what work remains?
    • Do not get bogged down in written analysis; instead, focus on capturing the moment with an eye toward how your observations can guide you toward future productivity.
