Presentation: "Heartbeat Retrospectives to Amplify Team Effectiveness"

Track:   Agile Foundations

Time: Thursday 14:30 - 15:30

Location: Westminster Suite

Abstract:

Agile development teams learn and improve by inspecting and adapting. High performing teams inspect and adapt not only their code and tests, but also their methods and interactions. Through regular retrospectives they become skilled at acquiring and using collective wisdom, accessing best practice thinking, avoiding faulty decisions or reinvented wheels, and increasing opportunities for successful innovations.

This short presentation will give Scrum Masters, Team Leads and Project Managers a framework that they can use to run heartbeat retrospectives successfully.
