Retrospective: Fixing the Process

IT IS NINE MONTHS since the OSPACS team installed Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and started its journey toward becoming an Agile team. The team members have worked on the issues in the road map they created in the Introduction (Table I-1), but more important, they’ve just delivered the new generic version of their system to one of their new customers. Accordingly, it is a good time for them to conduct a retrospective.

Note

Before arranging a retrospective for your own team, we recommend that you read Agile Retrospectives, by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen,1 as well as Project Retrospectives, by Norman Kerth.2 These books describe many useful exercises, including those mentioned in this retrospective.
