This activity can be run as a Retrospective or team training event.
This is an interesting session and one not to be used lightly: if the team come to this with an open mind and an honest point of view, it can be a shock to the system. I used it with one team who thought they were highly Agile but in reality were facing many anti-patterns. This exercise, held at the retrospective, acted as a mirror for the team to reflect their true behaviours and give them a chance to recognise the challenges they faced and what they could do as a team to move closer to a true agile way of working. This retrospective can be used at any point to come up with practical steps to move closer to the principles.
Before the session it’s important you understand why you are holding this Retrospective and have a plan for building a concrete improvement plan from it.
