Biking Retrospective

No matter if you identify as a cyclist, rider, or bike enthusiast: The principles of a well-maintained bicycle seamlessly merge with the world of retrospectives and team health. Just as a bicycle team requires clean, up-to-date tools, and a well-maintained bike, so too does the health and efficiency of our Agile Scrum team demand regular checkups.

Imagine your cycling journey on a finely tuned machine – each part working in harmony, from the frame and fork to the pedals and shoes. In the same way, our team functions at its best when all components are in sync:

🔧 Frame: Sets the stage for the ride together and is the base for all other components to be attached.

👉 Handlebars & Steering: Navigate towards a shared Sprint Goal. A smooth path to cycle or rather bumpy?

👟 Pedals Power: Personal achievements and team successes are crucial for long-lasting team success and sustainable biking.

⚙️ Gears & Drivetrain: Have there been obstacles that slowed down and prevented a higher gear to be used and a higher speed to be driven?

🪑 Saddle & Seating: Time for some comfort and highlighting everyones personal highlight. Give Kudos to your fellow cycling team.

🛞 Tired Tires: What on the other hand, have been hard times? When did you feel some air was missing to continue the flow?

🛑 Brakes & Safety: Summarizing everything heard: What could the whole team do to make the next ride more safe and inclusive for everyone?

🛣️ Action Items for the road ahead: Take away items for the team or individuals, so the discussion and Retrospective has a tangible outcome and creates traction by deciding responsible to be implemented until the next health check and bike workshop visit is scheduled.
