TOPIC: BayAPLN Year in ReviewShare your thoughts on the past and future! Sharpen your retrospective skills! Join the Coordinating Committee in this hands-on experience or just come to observe and learn.
The purpose of this retrospective is to improve our capability to deliver on objectives and to provide a time to recount, honor and enjoy our efforts and accomplishments. We also follow agile practice by visiting our Charter at the beginning of each year and the best starting place is our set of learnings from the previous year. We invite you to bring an “artifact” of any kind (raffle prize, parking ticket, event flyer, mind map, Subway wrapper, photo, etc.) that reminds you of BayAPLN and to share your story with the group.
Agenda overview:
• Review the Retrospective Purpose and Retrospective Prime Directive
• Share Artifacts (start thinking about the past year)
• Appreciations/Acknowledgements
• Build the Timeline (collect data)
• Mine the Timeline (find the learning)
• Make Recommendations for Change and Create Action Items
• Close
