Agile retrospectives embrace many of the same characteristics as the namesake development method. Iterative and incremental, this continuous improvement approach examines the experience of a software development team continually throughout the life of the project. In so doing, it provides feedback to the entire team and helps them see how to best proceed based on their most recent experience. The goal is to accurately find and fix problems to help the team today.

All teams–Agile or not–can benefit from Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great. This experiential two-day workshop prepares participants to design retrospectives and builds confidence for leading retrospectives. Activities and simulations are used to experience the power of retrospectives. Participants will apply retrospective design principles to case studies and real-life project situations. Participants will have the opportunity to lead a retrospective activity and receive feedback and coaching.
