An agile retrospective: Marvel comic book edition

Energiser:

Add a sticky note with your initials to the hero’s personality trait which best resonates with your mood or general feeling within the team during the last time box/iteration.

Gather Data:

• Iron Man, “I love you 3000”; provide credit where its due to colleagues and stakeholders.

• Spider-Man, “Spidey-Sense”; where is your intuition telling you that there is a perceived danger lurking ahead?

• Captain America, “S.H.I.E.L.D”; where can we block or deflect impediments or outside noise/interruptions?

• Blank Panther, “Wakanda Forever”; how do we become more tech savvy and innovative

• Doctor Strange, “Time Stone”; in hindsight what should we of done or delivered differently?

• Antman; would it be beneficial working and releasing smaller batch sizes, if so what are the first steps on our path?

Decide What To Do:

After a quick “Infinity” sort, generate insights and discuss potential experiments which will help iterate our ways of working and culture.
