Questions to ask at a Scrum Retrospective - #2
Are you getting twice the work in half the time? The Scrum retrospective is a key component of seeing that kind of improvement. Often, we see teams that have boring retrospectives that result in very little process improvement.
In this series, we explore ways to stretch your team and challenge them to think through more than just "start,stop,continue."
So what is question #2? We shift our focus to craftspersonship. Getting great at the actual skills of delivering great product is a fundamental part of creating great products. Some might call it deepening our T-shaped team members. At the end of the day is your team stretching themselves? Are they constantly looking to get better? If so, they should STRUGGLE at times. This is OK and something we want to challenge our teams to challenge themselves.
