Retrospectives Explained by Esther Derby, co-author of Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great.

Effective retrospectives are at the heart of team improvement. They’re the critical feedback loop for the team to examine methods, engineering practices, teamwork, and organizational relationships. But too often, teams fall into a rut, or fail to act on their retrospective resolves. I’ll share a five part framework for retrospectives, how the parts fit together, and what happens when you omit one of the stages. If you have been dissatisfied with your team’s retrospectives, or you are ready to take your retrospectives beyond “what did we do well, what could we do better,” watch this slide show and learn from one of the world’s experts on retrospectives.
