Discussion

Group Exercise: Sprint 2 Retrospective

(15 minutes)

In your Scrum Team, reflect on Sprint 2 by answering the following questions:

• What went well during this Sprint?
• What challenges or obstacles did the Scrum Team face?
• How did our prioritisation strategy work?
• Were our effort estimates accurate? And if not, why?

Document your responses and identify at least two actionable improvements that can be applied in (a hypothetical) future sprint.

Share your reflections are actionable improvements with the other groups.

Key Points

• Routine reflections on plans vs. the reality are key to improvement over time.
