A release retrospective template that fits in one page
Retrospectives fail when they become blame theater or wall-of-text therapy. A one-page template keeps them short and usable.
One action this week: After your next release, spend 15 minutes filling the retro template before you start the next feature.
One-page template
Release: Build: Shipped: What went wrong: What was almost wrong: What took longer than expected: What rule/process should change: Owner of the change:
Rules
- No “who” without “what rule changes”
- Only one rule change per retro
- If the rule was already written, why was it ignored?
Bottom line
A retro without a rule change is just complaining with a whiteboard.
