Facilitating Retrospectives: From Boring to Breakthrough

Description

Retrospectives are one of the most powerful opportunities a team has to improve. Yet far too often, they’re skipped because “we don’t have time,” rushed through as an afterthought, or treated as a dull box-checking exercise.  Even worse, sometimes they turn into blame sessions that leave people feeling drained rather than energized.

It doesn’t have to be that way.  A well-facilitated retrospective can be the most valuable hour of your team’s sprint: the time where psychological safety is built, lessons are learned, and real change begins.  With the right approach, retrospectives become not just meetings, but moments of growth, trust, and innovation.
