Retrospectives are the core element of agile projects. By regularly reviewing collaboration and project components, the team can optimize their work during the ongoing project, significantly improving both quality and speed. However, boredom is a risk! When retrospectives lack energy and structure, it becomes increasingly unattractive for participants to engage. This leads to boredom and no improvement in daily work. But it’s simple! The author outlines fundamental rules for successful retrospectives. She details the introduction and the five phases of the retrospective. New in the second edition: The introduction section of the book has been revised based on reader feedback. To make it easier for facilitators, many practical tips have been added. The team processes are explained in even greater detail.
