Agile Retrospective (full day)
Software teams experience what goes right and what goes wrong, what works and what doesn’t, during each and every day of each and every project. What happens to that hard-earned experience? In too many organizations, on too many projects, it dissipates as team members shift focus and move on. Real value lies in capturing, managing, and disseminating technical knowledge and process wisdom to improve current and future projects. Retrospectives offer the greatest lever for improving any software development project or process —based on the solid data of a team’s immediate past experience of success and failure. Through Retrospectives, teams systematically evaluate their own performance, explore their lessons learned, expand their capacity and capability, and choose how to improve the way they build and deliver products to your customers. |
