Retrospective

Retrospective

The group should perform a retrospective (often just called “retro”). There are many ways to do a project retro and lots of tools we can use to facilitate them. A quick Google search will yield dozens of links to resources about how, why, when, etc. as well as tools you can use to facilitate a retro.

Here are some links to get you started:

• Retrospectives by Atlassian
• How to run an effective project retrospective meeting
• How to run a retrospective by Mural

For this iteration, research how to run a retro. Collectively decide on a method and then do it!

You should plan to discuss a summary of your retro during your project presentation. Here are some ideas of ways you can talk about it during the eval:

• What formats did the group consider?
• Why did you choose the format you did?
• Did this retro feel effective? What might you try differently the next time you run a group retro?
• Summarize the outcome of the retro.

Deliverables

In addition to giving a summary of your retro during the evaluation, AFTER you do your retro, add to your README:

• The name of and links (if applicable) to any tools you used for retro
• Top 3 things that went well during your project
• Top 3 things your team would do differently next time

If you used a format for your retro that didn’t include what went well and what you would change, you can adjust bullet points 2 and 3 accordingly.
