Y. Hanoulle: How to make your retrospectives the heart of your agile proces (90 min.)

  • AGI
  • en

The best meeting I had last year was with 2 people in my team that written one post-it about everyone in our team with what they liked about them. It's an example of team members taking over a retrospective to put attention to what is needed.

When you implement only one aspect of agile: let it be a retrospective. If you would use retrospectives every 2 weeks with your team, I'm convinced you will try everything in XP, Scrum, Lean, TheCoreProtocols, etc. (It might take you a year or 5, but you will get there.)

In this session I talk about the basics of a retrospective.

  • What is a retrospective?
  • Set the stage
  • Gathering data
  • Generating insights
  • Decide what to do
  • Closing and debriefing

Yves Hanoulle (BE)

Agile Coach in EMEA at PairCoaching.net

I started working in IT in 1994. I worked as a software support, developer, team leader, trainer, agile coach. I believe that IT is mainly about working with people - a skill that can never be learned enough.

I'm a Core Trainer by McCarthy Technologies. Yearly I spend at least 10% of my revenue on training and books. I invented the term PairCoaching to promote pairwork.

When I don't work as an agile coach helping companies in EMEA or talk at conferences around the world about agile or the core protocols, I'm using agile ideas to raise my 3 kids. (And use what I learn from them when I work with teams.)

I visited Prague when I was 18, and I fell in love with the city right away. I'm happy I can come back here...
