The Scrum Master Guide to Choosing Retrospective Techniques v.2 / Berteig Consulting Inc. (ePub)

As a Scrum Master, you create the conditions for your Scrum teams to improve, and the most important toolkit you have is the retrospective. Yet choosing a retrospective technique is hard and often feels like guess-work.

In "The Scrum Master Guide to Choosing Retrospective Techniques", Mishkin Berteig and Jerry Doucett provide a systematic approach to choosing retrospective techniques for any team. Their combined thirty-plus years of experience working with Agile and Scrum teams is distilled into a compact guidebook for you to boost your team from one level to the next, over and over using retrospective techniques.

The book is divided into sections based on the stages of team development: not (yet) a team, forming, storming, norming, performing, high-performance and adjourning. Each section explains how to tell if a team is at that stage and which retrospective techniques are likely to be most appropriate. As well, each section provides guidance on how to use the techniques if your team is co-located or virtual so that you can always be sure of success.

Applying -inappropriate- retrospective techniques to your team can diminish team cohesion and even reduce trust in your abilities as a Scrum Master. This guide book helps you avoid this common problem.
