The XP Days program committee has accepted my workshop "Agile Self-Assessment Game" for the XP Days Benelux 2016 conference. How cool is that!
In this interactive workshop you can practice different exercises from the Retrospective Exercises Toolbox to facilitate retrospectives. You will learn the “what” and “why” of retrospectives, the business value and benefits that they can bring for your team.
Agile teams gebruiken retrospectives om continu te verbeteren. Verbeteracties richten zich vaak op de manier waarop het team samenwerkt om de productiviteit te verbeteren. Uit een retrospective kunnen ook acties komen om de kwaliteit van het product te verbeteren. Bijvoorbeeld door verbetering van de manier waarop er getest wordt.
Agile teams use product backlogs to manage their requirements. Product owners prioritize the user stories. To enable delivering products with sufficient quality agile teams need to have user stories that are ready at the start of an iteration.

He was planning a retrospective with a new team, and wanted my advice on which exercise to use and how to facilitate the retrospective.
