Fun Retrospective workshop at Agile2014

Are you going to be at Orlando (July 28 – Aug 1) for the Agile2014 conference? If yes, Please check out our proposal (Taina TC Caetano and I,  Paulo Caroli) at https://submissions.agilealliance.org/sessions/1751 and leave a comment/review letting us know what you think. See you there!

Come, learn and practice two dozen of simple yet very effective Retrospectives´ activities and ideas. In this session, you will take part on performing proven retrospectives activities that help agile improve this practice execution and results. This session’s dynamics has been designed to provide you with hands-on facilitation, group discussion and experience sharing.

Retrospectives improve communication, productivity and quality by providing a space to support knowledge and experience sharing. Effective retrospectives not only reflect upon the past, but also allow the participants to discuss the future and be proactive, instead of reactive.

You will be invited to facilitate a set of activities, such as the Role Expectations Matrix and the General Behavior Activity for team building. We will discuss and show ways of diversifying retrospectives, such as the Peaks and Valleys Timeline Activity, the Happiness Radar -> Lessons Learned Sequence and the Speed Car - Abyss Activity. Finally, for those looking to increase their toolset of activities to look ahead, there will be activities such as Path to Nirvana and Plan of Action. And much more! Please check out FunRetrospectives.com for a quick taste on the activities... (more at the conference submission system)
