We did the retrospective on our first sprint today. Usually, our retrospectives are divided into three parts:
- what went well
- what went ... less well
- what can we improve
This was usually rendered on the wall like this:
| Good |
To improve |
Action points |
| ... |
... |
... |
| ... |
... |
... |
Today we tried something new. The three columns were now called:
| Keep doing |
Stop doing |
Start doing |
| ... |
... |
... |
| ... |
... |
... |
You might say this is just a question of labels, but to me it felt completely different.
