Abstract
Inspecting and adapting is pitched as being an essential ingredient for continuous learning and improvement. In Scrum, for example, there’s an explicit opportunity for doing this - it’s called the sprint retrospective meeting. Now, it’s one thing to say, "we’re going to inspect and adapt", and to actually do it. Furthermore, facilitating such a meeting is not exactly a skill we inherit in our genes. It’s something we need to learn. Without mastering the skill, we’re effectively losing on a lot of important interaction and learning. This workshop is an opportunity to improve that skill through a combination of a brief tutorial and a series of hands-on exercises, letting participants experiment with a number of retrospective techniques in small groups.
