Don’t Skip the Retro!
The Sprint Retrospective, or “Retro,” is a Scrum Event that occurs at the end of every Sprint. During this Event, the Scrum team talks about the previous sprint – what went well and what can be improved – and then adapts their team processes, based on what is uncovered in that discussion. It is this consistent cycle of inspection and adaptation that creates a high-performing team. Unfortunately, this is the one Scrum Event that many teams (or worse, leadership) want to skip. However, I am begging you: Please. Do. Not. Skip. The. Retro. Seriously. Don’t do it!
Have Fun in Scrum! The Retrospective
The retrospective is my favorite Scrum event as it fosters the ultimate conversation. It allows people to talk!

I will be speaking at a few PMI events coming up here in the next few days.
Running an Effective Retrospective Meeting
ou want to run an awesome Retrospective meeting but you really don't know where to start. I've found that a true Retrospective is about learning from mistakes made during the sprints; how to improve the team while increasing velocity where possible, and deciding what works and what doesn't. All that made sense to me intellectually, but in reality, trying to accomplish these things sometimes, is not as clear.
