Sprint Planning as Inputs
Erin S Beierwaltes4/12/2011
Retro the Retro (yes, I’m serious) Time boxed (fast) 0-4 scale
0 = The time spent in this retro was a loss of my time and I gained nothing (negative)
2 = I gained what I spent in time (neutral) 4 = The time I spent was more than worth what I
got in return (awesome) If anything comes back 2 or lower, invite
that person to comment. ScrumMaster should take the feedback and
try to refine the approach for next sprintErin S Beierwaltes4/12/2011
How is your Retrospective going? Do you have action items? Is everyone engaged and giving
ideas? How often does the team follow
through on the action items?
