Improving Agile Retrospectives: Helping Teams Become More Efficient, 1st edition

In Improving Agile Retrospectives, leading agile coach/trainer Marc Loeffler combines practical guidance, proven practices, and innovative approaches for maximising the value of retrospectives for your team—and your entire organisation. You can apply his powerful techniques in any project, agile or otherwise. These techniques offer exceptional value wherever continuous improvement is needed: from “lessons-learned” workshops in traditional project management to enterprise-wide change management.

He presents small ideas that make a big difference—because they’re deeply grounded in real experience.
