Retrospective Agile Harry Potter
2 hints for a good retrospective
There are dozens of way to facilitate a retrospective . What they all have in common are the 5 phases of a retrospective. Although looking at the Double Diamond model, one might argue that 5 phases of a retrospective are not enough . So have a look at the linked post with more information about it 🙂
So no matter if you might do the “retrospective agile Harry Potter”, I still recommend to take the 5 phases of a retrospective into account. Additionally, we recommend to use a check-in, some icebreaker that helps to start the conversation.
We will provide you with a check-in for the Harry Potter retrospective below. But just to be sure, you can find some more retrospective check-in’s for every situation in the linked blog post.
The agile “Harry Potter” retrospective
So here you go, these are the questions we developed when you want to do the Harry Potter retrospective. It begins with the following check-in, which is optional:
- Everyone in your agile team: If you would choose to be one character from the Harry Potter universe, who would you be?
Alright, after this optional check-in (it should not take longer than 5-10% of your retrospective time), these are the main questions for your retrospective:
- What is our “Firebolt” (Harry’s broom) that helps us achieve our goals? (optional explanation: e.g. helpful tools, skills or routines).
- What surprising message did messenger owl Hedwig have in her package for us? (optional explanation: Surprising news or twist from the last weeks.)
- Based on your work, what would you see when you look into the Mirror of Erised? The mirror shows your heartfelt wish.
- Which recent memories would you like to save in a Pensieve to relive later? (optional explanation: Moments or things you would like to remember.)
Of course, you can modify these questions or add your own questions 🙂
