As Scrum Masters, our attention is very much focused on the evolution of the team, and how we can support their development. Using a framework like Shu-Ha-Ri can help us verbalize that evolution and track the progress of the team over time. As we progress in the mastery journey with the team, there are practices and approaches we can take to evaluate the team’s progress and we discuss some of those in this episode.
In this episode we refer to the book #NoEstimates: How to measure project progress without estimation by Vasco Duarte.
Featured Retrospective Format of the Week: The Starfish Retrospective
In the Starfish Retrospective we discuss not only what is good, bad or needs to change, but we talk also about other categories. In his approach to the Starfish Retrospective, Denis also asks: what do we want to see more of (continue and do more), or what we want to see less of (continue, but do less of it).
Denis also discusses the “Weather Report” check-in exercise to energize the team and get them in the flow of the retrospective.
