Keynote: Facilitating retrospectives that are worthwhile and engaging

Retrospectives are all about making your team better. Working with complex systems like teams of people, you know that it is an important part of the process to continually reflect on, adjust, and improve your work process.

Unfortunately, some retrospectives are facilitated in a way so that they are wasting time instead of being the rewarding learning process they should be. Aino has identified a number of antipatterns for retrospectives that often stand in the way of a good retrospective.

Join this keynote to learn how to overcome these with humour, activities, body language, psychology and tricks for online retrospectives.
