RETROSPECTIVE

Good teams deserve good retros

Not all retros are the same. If you don’t think that retrospectives are important, the bigger reason to try an expert facilitator. If you think they are important, they deserves an external facilitator Sometimes you need someone from the outside to gain new perspectives. I can help you with a one time workshop to get a better understanding of where you want to go. Or I can join the team for multiple improvement cycles (or sprints). There is also an option for mentoring one, or multiple, in the team to facilitate better retros. Let us talk about your teams needs to look back in order to move forward!

RETROSPECTIVE

Ester Daniel facilitated a digital retrospective for us and we were very pleased with it. We only had two hours but still Ester Daniel managed to direct us by different approaches and models that was setup in Miro. Ester Daniel was well prepared excels in communication and is over all pleasant to work with.

Workshop data types

One way to construct a workshop is to think of it as a series of data transformations. Each step has to filter or transform the input in a way that it matches the input of the next exercise, until we have reached the requested result. This helps in controlling the format, and quality, of the results, without controlling its content.
