Thursday 16.45 - 18.50
Room: Ken Lee

Retrospectives are a key tool in the Agile toolkit. But, they aren't easy.
Some teams do them regularly - but they can become boring and repetitive.
Other teams don't do them - they lack the time, the energy or they don't have a suitable facilitator.
To overcome these problems, and enhance teamwork, Allan Kelly has created a series of Retrospective Dialogue Sheets. These are a new tool in the Agile toolkit to inject some fun and variety into retrospectives. They also abolish the role of retrospective facilitator!
Teams which have tried dialogue retrospectives report higher energy levels, more inclusive discussions and innovative findings.
The technique can be used in other situations too, dialogue sheets exist for project kick-off and for initial Agile adoption.
This is a hands on session, everyone will get a go at undertaking a simulated retrospective based on a dialogue sheet and will learn what a dialogue sheet is, how to use one, and find some new ways to improve your work.
