Running a Retrospective

Share

Live Webinar Slides – April 12, 2011 2:00 pm – 3 pm EST
Presented by: Conscires Agile Practices
Duration: 1 hour 1 Category C FREE

  • Do you feel like your retrospectives are valuable?
  • Does your team complain about having to do them?
  • Do they take too long?
  • Do they improve your process?

The basic scrum approach says “thou shalt have a retrospective”, but unfortunately often people aren’t aware of the tools and approaches they could use to make them valuable.

In one hour learn a time-boxed, collaborative approach to get real action items and commitments from the team.
