Follow the Sun as we Retrospect Around the World. Our vision is to promote continuous improvement throughout the world by encouraging the adoption of retrospectives, by increasing the utility of retrospectives for people, teams, and organizations, and by sharing new ideas and insights with each other.
Several talks and workshops that I'm giving in the autumn have been announced: I'm doing sessions about Agile Retrospectives, Agile Self-assessments, and Dealing with Impediments at the Agile Greece Summit, Agile Cambridge, Lean Agile Scotland, Agile Day Bosnia, and Lean Kanban France.
