Retrospective

Retrospective

- [Instructor] A retrospective, sometimes called postmortem, is a meeting you do at the end of a period or a sprint to discuss how you can improve. Retrospectives are very effective. Sadly, people tend to skip them and they have a low priority in many teams. You should always allocate time for retrospectives. You can do retrospective in physical meeting or in asynchronous way in a chat room or a shared document. I highly recommend to document these retrospectives since they common knowledge and represent organizational memory. Retrospectives can get long and tedious. Here's a template for making them short and effective. Everyone writes or talks about three things that went well and we should keep and three things that didn't go well and how to improve them. During the meeting if there are things to do, known as action items, make sure to add them to your issue tracking and allocate time for them.
