Agile retrospectives helpen teams om te leren. Teams passen hun werkwijze aan om beter te worden in wat ze doen. Hieronder een beschrijving van een situatie uit mijn praktijk waarin een team mbv een retrospective leerde van hun fouten en door het doen van verbeteracties soortgelijke problemen in de toekomst voorkwam.
Via twitter kwam in contact met Johan Roels. In zijn boek Cruciale Dialogen herken ik veel dingen vanuit mijn ervaring met continue verbetering in organisaties.

My new book Continuous Improvement - Doing whatever helps to become better and thus more valuable is about increasing the awareness of continuous improvement and about how to improve in a sustainable way. It explores how improvement is engrained in agile, and provides suggestions that you can use in your daily work to improve continuously and increase your agility. Continuous improvement is what makes agile work. It's at the heart of agile: a mindset and a way of working where people always look for ways to do things better. Continuous Improvement is my third book. Earlier I published the books What Drives Quality and Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives. All of my books are available on Ben Linders' Leanpub page. Feedback on this new book is very much appreciated. Please sent your suggestions, comments, ideas or questions to [email protected]. Also feel free to contact me if you are interested to receive a review copy.
