Making Retrospectives Matter - 3 Keys to Success!

#1. The team doesn’t know what greatness looks like

If a team always feel that nothing needs to change, it could be because they don’t know what a high-performing team is like. They have been working in their familiar ways for too long and never got a chance to learn what greatness can be.

#2. The improvement actions have not been actually taken on

Another common issue is that the team always has good conversations during the retrospective and identifies the things to improve. But those improvement actions haven’t been followed up closely. The actual results of the improvement haven’t been tracked and reviewed. So the team feels that the retrospective is just wasting their time.

#3. The impediment is too big for the team to improve

Sometimes the improvement that the team wants to focus on is a big challenge across the whole organization. For example, the team decides to find a way to remove the external dependencies. However, it requires either changing the organizational structure or changing the architecture across multiple systems which is out of the team’s ability to improve them. The team will feel frustrated about it and may lose the passion to improve anything.
