Why Take Better Retrospectives
Retrospectives are meant to fuel continuous improvement. But too often, they feel like a chore—same questions, same voices, same inaction.
This course helps you break that cycle.
In this 50 minute course, you’ll learn how to facilitate retrospectives that your team wants to attend—sessions that are engaging, insightful, and lead to change. You’ll see how to vary your approach, navigate different personalities, and tailor each retro to your team’s needs, so you can turn “just another meeting” into a powerful engine for growth.
Better Retrospectives is packed with ideas you can use immediately—even if your team is quiet, skeptical, or burned out.
