Retrospective

Spock

An agile story

In startup life things get "bumpy” pretty

fast.

“So much for the little training cruise”

I am George,

Co-founder of a

startup named

Apirise

PM, Scrum Master co-organizer of the Agile Greece and

API Athens Meetups

Good communication

in a team is not to

be taken for

granted!

“This is how it should be…”

“Everybody knows that…”

In reality, things remain that are not

spoken…

“I didn't have time…”

“nothing ever happened…”

Lets do retrospectives…

not structured1 hour! strictly!

All take 5-10 minutes to think silently and

write down the things we:

a) Did well and should continue

b) Could do better by introducing minor

modifications

c) Should improve by introducing a major change.

This could include things we should stop doing as

well.

“Vulcans never bluff”

Take turns and stand up

Post-it on the wall with your idea

Do not interrupt the person standing

Vote…

“Insufficient facts always

invite danger”

Estimating is not easy, but it

comes with experience.

There are external factors in a life

of a startup that can kill your

estimate.

“Change is the essential process of all existence.”

We keep everything on the wall.

All have a view of the changes we need

to put in place.

Sometimes even talking about a problem

helps understanding any hidden issues.
