Raise your hand if this sounds familiar:

  • The same complaints as last sprint
  • Action items no one follows up on
  • Two weeks later, nothing's changed

  • A retro format you can run in 30 minutes or less — and actually make decisions
  • How to surface real problems (not just noise)
  • Simple tricks to make improvements stick
  • Bonus: When to kill the retro entirely
