In this workshop you will learn to do agile self-assessments and readiness checks and to design and facilitate retrospectives that help organizations to become more agile and lean.

Valuable Agile Retrospectives provide the solution for a successful agile adoption at all levels in the organization. Retrospectives help you to apply agile practices effectively.
