FAQ
What is an retrospective meeting in agile?
An Agile retrospective is a recurring meeting in Agile methodologies where teams reflect on their recent work iteration. It focuses on what went well, what could be improved, and actionable changes for the next iteration. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, it enables teams to adapt, enhance collaboration, and refine processes. The process includes setting the stage, reviewing data, generating insights, identifying action items, making decisions, and assigning responsibilities. Retrospectives celebrate successes, learn from failures, and encourage open communication. They are vital for optimizing teamwork, boosting efficiency, and delivering higher value.
What are examples of agile retrospectives?
Start-Stop-Continue: Team members discuss what activities or practices they should start doing, stop doing, and continue doing in the next iteration. This simple format encourages reflection on processes and practices. Glad, Sad, Mad: Team members share what they are glad about, what made them sad, and what made them mad during the iteration. This approach focuses on emotions and can uncover issues affecting team morale. 4Ls – Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For: Participants discuss what they liked about the iteration, what they learned, what was lacking, and what they longed for in terms of improvements or changes.
What are the most important questions in a retrospective?
What went well during this iteration? What could have gone better? What were the major achievements or successes? What were the biggest challenges or obstacles? What did we learn as a team?
