Spice Up Your
Retrospective
(Marc Löffler, @scrumphony)
What do you expect
to take home from
   this session?
The Retro Challenges
Motivate
people and
keep them
 engaged
Work on
identified
  tasks
What prevents them?
       • Repetition
         Boring Retros
       • Same problems
         No effect
       • No responsibility
       • Tasks are not visible
       • Tasks are too big
Two root causes
• Missing Relativeness
• Missing Purpose
Two root causes
• Missing Relativeness
• Missing Purpose
„The object toward which one
strives or for which something
exists; an aim or a goal”
Autonomy
Mastery
Purpose
You can‘t fake purpose!
Why is it missing?
Missing vision and/or
mission
Vision is blurred…
Inject purpose into
   retrospectives
But how?
Add hypotheses to your
     retrospectives
Set the
  Stage


  Gather
   Data
             Traditional
 Generate
             retrospective
  Insight
             flow
 Decide
What To Do



 Closing     (Esther Derby & Diana Larsen)
Alternative
retrospective
flow
The power of metaphors
Soccer Retrospective
What soccer
terms come
 into your
   mind?
• Imagine your last
  sprint was a soccer
  match of 90 minutes
• Create a live ticker
  of this match
• Only use soccer
  terms
• Check your
  hypotheses from
  last time
Next steps…
• Game Analysis
• Prepare for the
  next match
  including to define
        testable(!)
  new testable(!)
  hypotheses
The Recipe
What‘s
   your
recipe for
a perfect
 sprint?
Why do you
  think this
  recipe will
 create the
    perfect
   sprint?
(Hypotheses)
What steps
or ingredients
were missing
 in your last
   sprint?
Two metaphor tips…

                • Create a list of
                  metaphor terms
                  before you start
                • Don‘t leave your
                  metaphor!
Possible benefits of using metaphors

• Think outside of
  the box
• New, creative ideas


    Fun!
Some other ideas...

Summary
• Any retrospective without a
  purpose is a dead
  retrospective.
• Add hypotheses to your
  retrospectives.
• Play around with metaphors
  for new ideas.
What about your
 hypotheses?
Thanks for your
   attention
