Agile Retrospective: Making Good Teams Great
See how to mine the experience of your software development
team continually throughout the life of the project. The
tools and recipes in this book will help you uncover and
solve hidden (and not-so-hidden) problems with your
technology, your methodology, and those difficult "people"
issues on your team.
Project
retrospectives help teams examine what went right
and what went wrong on a project. But traditionally,
retrospectives (also known as "post-mortems") are only
helpful at the end of the project--too late to help. You
need agile retrospectives that are iterative and
incremental. You need to accurately find and fix problems to
help the team today.
Now, Derby and Larsen show you the tools, tricks, and tips
you need to fix the problems you face on a software
development project on an on-going basis. You'll see how to
architect retrospectives in general, how to design them
specifically for your team and organization, how to run them
effectively, how to make the needed changes, and how to
scale these techniques up. You'll learn how to deal with
problems, and implement solutions effectively throughout the
project--not just at the end.
With regular tune-ups, your team will hum like a precise,
world-class orchestra.
