Learn to Facilitate 5 Minutes of Mindfulness in Retrospectives
summary
Practical guidance for Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters on running a 5-minute mindfulness exercise at the start of a Scrum retrospective to help teams reach more balanced emotional states and produce more effective action plans. It explains why short regular mindfulness practices work (citing neuroscience benefits like prefrontal cortex development and reduced amygdala hijack) and encourages using brief, repeatable exercises—drawing on practices used in companies such as Google, Apple and Nike—to make the habit easy to introduce in ceremonies.
