Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The Amazon Retrospective In this episode, Danielle describes the "Amazon Retrospective", where the team approaches their last sprint like reviewing an Amazon product. They give titles, rate it with stars, and write replies from the seller's perspective. This unique perspective enhances reflection and understanding of the sprint's outcomes. However, Danielle cautions against using this approach during conflicts. Another technique, the "Marie Kondo Retrospective," involves evaluating team processes by asking if they "spark joy." Inspired by the decluttering philosophy, it aims to streamline and optimize processes. These inventive retrospective methods offer fresh ways to assess and improve team performance.   [IMAGE HERE] Retrospectives, planning sessions, vision workshops, we are continuously helping teams learn about how to collaborate in practice!
