Retrospective

Set the Stage: Emoticon Project Gauge

Let each team member choose how they feel right now about the project. You can choose more than one option:

Gather Data: Repeat & Avoid

Write issues for the columns “repeat” and “avoid”. Let everyone read out their notes and post them to the appropriate column

Repeat

• Look at task early and clarify questions early
• Divide work according to skills and desires/wishes of team members
• Pushing hard in the end to make it
• Good effort for finishing the scientific article
• Good pair/coordination supporting each other (communication)

Avoid

• Losing pace
• Starting late with the work
• Do too much in the end
• Being lazy
• Being sick :D
• Feeling not confident to push own work to ask for a quick help earlier (communication)

Generate Insights: Perfection Game

Everyone rates the last iteration on a scale from 1 to 10. Then they have to suggest what action(s) would make the next iteration a perfect 10.

Rating	Action
8	Proper assignment of proper tasks early
7	Do things early and not in end
6	Need more free time -> more motivation
9	Fachartikel part of the sprint was good. It is normal to have less motivation after pushing so hard. And in the end we made it. So only action for me would be to have more time, more free time as well.
5	Longer sprint duration ;)
6	Too many things...

Decide What To Do: Have beer 🍻

We decided that we need to have a beer together. That was how we closed the retrospective :D Before the end of the semester we will finish our presentation, so we then can focus on exams.
