Dear diary,
I would like to share with you the power of self retrospective! :)
A scrum team is a team of people who work together in order to built something, using an agile framework. Usually, team works in sprints, and a sprint is a specific amount of time when they can deliver their increment. An increment is a very small piece of product.
A lot of scrum theory! Are you still with me diary?
Retrospective is a ceremony at the end of the sprint, where the team can discuss what went well during the sprint, what they want to keep and what they want to improve, in order for them to work more efficiently.
Enough with the theory…
Well, as a Scrum Master, I was thinking that this is a pretty powerful event, so maybe I could use it in my life outside of work. Maybe, you are my retrospective event diary… Does it make sense?
So, everyone can schedule his/her retrospective every day, every month, every year. Everyone can evaluate the day that pasted, the day at work, the day outside the work. Maybe we can start thinking if we said something nice to someone, if we had fun within the day, if we talked with someone that we love…
Dear dairy, nowadays the world is kind of tough, life is not easy, we can not change the world, we can not change people… The only thing we can do is trying improving ourselves!
Schedule you own self retrospective! See what works for you, what needs improvement, make space for yourself, take care of yourself and everything is going to be ok! Create your own action items for your life, make things happen, risk, try new things, and always evaluate what you are doing.
Dear diary, I going out for a walk.. this is the outcome of my retrospective meeting for today!
See you soon,
Maria
