I will give a talk about Spicing up Agile Retrospectives at Topconf Linz 2017.
In veel organisaties wordt de kennis en kunde van de professionals niet benut bij het doen van verbeteringen. De verbeteringen worden eerst uitgewerkt en daarna met een verbeterprogramma doorgevoerd. Pas bij de invoering horen de medewerkers wat er moet veranderen, en vaak ook hoe ze hun werk moeten gaan doen. En dan gaat het mis. Dat kan en moet anders. Mijn advies: Ga samen met je medewerkers verbeteren, benut de professionals in je organisatie.

If you want your retrospectives to be valuable you have to make retrospective actions stick.

Having a diverse and multidisciplinary team helps to make retrospective actions stick.
