Training: "Agile Retrospectives"

Track: Tutorial

Time: Tuesday 09:00 - 16:00

Location: Seacliff A

Abstract:

Retrospectives are all about making your team better. Working with agile development you know that it is an important part of the process to continually reflect on, adjust, and improve your work process. Unfortunately, some retrospectives are facilitated in a way so that they are wasting time instead of being the rewarding learning process they should be. The course provides an introduction and a practical approach to retrospectives facilitation. There will be an introduction to the concept, activities, motivation and challenges. Participants will get an opportunity to try the techniques in practice and discuss their own experiences and get advice on specific problems from their everyday lives.

Target Audience: The target audience are retrospectives facilitators, either novices or experienced who need new input.

Prerequisites: We recommend that you have read Diana Larsen and Esther Derby's book "Agile Retrospectives"  before the workshop.
