Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an agile retrospective and why is varying the format crucial?
An agile retrospective is a recurring ceremony where a squad reflects on past performance to identify actionable process enhancements. Repeating the exact same format every sprint leads to ceremony fatigue, superficial feedback, and disengagement.
How should a Scrum Master choose the right retrospective format for the moment?
Assess the sprint context: If delivery was rocky and action is needed fast, choose Start-Stop-Continue or Execution & Action; if interpersonal tension was high, use Mad-Sad-Glad; if new tech was tested, run Liked-Learned-Lacked; and if closing an MVP, conduct an End of Project Retrospective.
What is the key difference between Mad-Sad-Glad and Start-Stop-Change-Continue?
Start-Stop-Change-Continue is strictly operational and behavior-focused, addressing what the team does or does not do. Mad-Sad-Glad is emotional and empathy-focused, acknowledging how people feel about circumstances.
How many action items should an agile team commit to from a retrospective?
The agile golden standard is to commit to no more than 1 to 3 high-impact action items per sprint to maintain focus and guarantee execution.
