The Ways of an Agile Poodle

I had a pleasant experience in our last retrospective. My current team, which has been together for 7 two weeks sprints, has been successful right from the beginning. We are not yet hyperproductive, but we are a good team which has gelled properly. Despite the success we’ve had we still have a feeling that we can do better.

Our Scrummaster facilitated a role playing game in our last retro. Pretty simple exercise but the outcome was great. The task was to imagine a sprint that had just ended and which was exremely successfull and then write to an A4 paper a story how the sprint went.

After aggregating the writings we now have a very good skeleton of a successful sprint. Now we know the ingredients and we just have to find the correct measures!
