Session Outline
Our goal is to define and discuss how to run Retrospectives that are fun, interesting and effective during all sprints in the project.
After an introduction on the subject, participants will be divided in small groups to do an actual Retrospective, focused on sharing experiences and ideas to improve Retrospectives . At the end of the session we will debrief results and draw conclusions on how to run the best Retrospectives.
Timetable:
* Brief presentation about retrospective (15 min)
Set the stage, Gather data, Generate insights, Decide what to do, Closing
* Short sprint were the the participants can compete with each other. They will build a tower or paper plane. (15 min)
