In 2006, Esther Derby and Diana Larsen published, “Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great,” the first agile-focused guide to team continuous improvement. Time marched on. We learned some things. People told us some stories about their retrospectives, and how those meetings had wasted team time. They also told us about how retrospectives had built stronger teams, better products, and enhanced relationships across their organizations. Coaches told us about the retrospectives anti-patterns they had experienced, AND about the activities they tried that made a real difference in team performance.
We have added another member to our writing team, along with more information about working and retrospecting while working from home. The result is “Agile Retrospectives, 2nd edition.” This presentation explains how to get the most and best continuous improvement from the new view of team retrospectives from seventeen years in the future.
