Improving and Extending Retrospective Outcomes
summary
Presents a concrete five‑step retrospective routine—set the stage, gather data, generate insights, decide actions, close—with specific practices: timelines, FRIM grids, story cubes and the E I E C (effort, impact, energy, commitment) scoring. Recommends a 75‑minute minimum for two‑week iterations, limiting outcomes to one or two small improvements, putting them on the Sprint backlog (not an “improvement” backlog), assigning an owner plus a backup, and tracking the result in the next retro.
