When the least productive team (assessed in outcomes, qualitatively, supported by snapshot of numbers) says they are more productive when they do *less retrospectives*, it is clear they don't understand what #retrospectives are. They are an investment of time for improvement conversation and they lose out so much when they treat it as if it was a ceremony forced upon them.

@brejoc “We want to get to a state of continuous and sustainable delivery!” Absolutely! And short (micro), medium & long #retrospectives help to recognize what, when, & how feedback can help to achieve that. #insightful #post

Teams that use AERs tend to develop richer mental models of how teamwork impact performance outcomes and develop more specific attr for performance

1️⃣ Better utility of time
2️⃣ Higher quality information

There are several #AntiPatterns that can occur during #Retrospectives and undermine their effectiveness (e.g., Blame game; No action taken; Lack of participation; Not staying focused; Same problems discussed repeatedly, etc.) It is important to recognize and avoid these anti-patterns in order to make the most of the Retrospective and continuously improve #teamwork. https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/using-prime-directive-avoid-retrospective-witch-hunts #Collaboration #Facilitation via #Scrum

@jchyip “Yes, and be very strict about retrospectives/post-mortems being about learning, not celebration.” So true. Which doesn’t mean (I hope) that a retrospective couldn’t focus in an #AppreciativeInquiry way on how to grow and expand effective work. Celebrating is fine, and a different activity. #Retrospectives are for learning, growing understanding, and applying what we learned.

Comme les copains font des #retrospectives 2022, en mode facétieux, je vous dévoile mon produit technologique de l’année (…qui a quelques heures de vol) :

…un moulin à café mécanique #Gefu pour broyer finement du moka pour le petit déjeuner…!

En prime, une fragrance épatante dans l’appartement et les muscles de mes bras qui retrouvent de la vigueur (pas besoin d’haltères ;-)

On est pas aussi sophistiqués que l’ami @anthony mais on progresse !

#Retrospectives : a waste of time for développera who should be developing instead of sitting in a room talking. Did you ever met such comment management ? How did you demonstrate its value ? (In a context with no #scrum nor scrumaster) #productmanagement

Unfortunately only works with square post-its ATM. But #3M can change that. I’m quite sure this doesn’t scale to giant #eventstorming walls, but for #retrospectives it could be really useful. This goes beyond merely documenting. It creates a flow. I like.

If you can listen past the crackling audio, you'll hear a fine conversation with Faye Thompson, Esther Derby, and Ryan Ripley on what people — ourselves included — need to reflect and change our behavior. https://schmonz.com/talk/20181210-agile-for-humans/ #Agile #Scrum #Retrospectives #Coaching #Facilitation
