Enterprise Retrospectives

by Luke Hohmann, Scotty Bevill, Guy Duncan

Traditional approaches to retrospectives — assembling a group of people in a room with one or more facilitators — are too costly, don’t scale, take far too long, and fail to produce high-impact results for large Scrum organizations. As a consequence, large organizations either skip retrospectives entirely or they relegate retrospectives to individual teams, which tragically limits their effectiveness in identifying and implementing enterprise changes that can profoundly improve performance. This webinar explored how to produce multi-team enterprise retrospectives to identify enterprise impediments.
