Retrospectives are a critical tool for the Scrum Master. How we use them, how we treat the information from them is critical for our success. In this episode we explore how we can approach retrospectives from our Scrum Master’s role point of view.
Featured Retrospective Format of the Week: Hot Air Balloon
The Hot Air Balloon is one of the many metaphor-focused retrospective formats.
