“At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.” – co-authors, http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html/ Esther Derby and Diana Larsen first published Agile Retrospectives in 2006, as savvy team leaders had begun to ask how to incorporate the Agile Manifesto’s twelfth principle in their agile practices. After fifteen years, it’s no surprise that approaches to agile have evolved and taken new directions. Have retrospective practices kept up? What’s new? What’s been discarded? How have agile retrospectives fared in the world beyond software teams? Join Diana as she shares her perspective on the years of changes, as well as her ideas about changes still on the horizon––changes that will continue to influence the ways teams and organizations can collaboratively, interdependently learn, think, make decisions, and direct improvements.
