Effective Virtual Retrospective

An online meetup by BATC, Agile BSD, and Agile Circles Indonesia.

“The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint.” - Scrum Guide

Let’s talk about retrospective. Effective virtual retrospective. In this meetup, we scale down, way down. No keynote talks, just talk. Meet people from other organizations, share what you are doing for virtual retrospective. What you think and how you feel about it. Give and receive feedback. We would like you to get insights from peers that you can bring with you and immediately apply in your team(s) and organization. Moreover, insights that others may have applied in these challenging conditions, where virtual meeting is the new normal.
