If you identified action items, you also want to reflect on those during the next retrospective to see how things are evolving. If not all important topics arre discussed by the end of the session, you may want to continu on this during the next retrospective. You don’t have to fix everything right away! If the topic is bigger, break it down into smaller sub-items and try to identify a small action that can already get the team towards a first improvement. After a brief discussion on the topic, try to identify a (small) improvement that you can already do in the next sprint planning session. After that, you can do dot voting to determine the most popular or urgent topic to discuss. When everybody is finished, I usually read through the post-its to ensure that every post-it is clear for everybody. You want to make sure that everybody puts at least 1 post-it per stage to make sure everybody is involved in the exercise. Give everybody in the team some time to write down some post-its in every stage. “ON TO THE 10!”: How can we go all the way up to 10/10? What should we change, do differently, add, improve, or get rid off to have “the perfect sprint planning session”?.What is already going well, and what should we make sure we keep doing? “IT’S NO 0”: why didn’t you put a 0? This probably means we are are doing some things right.The perfection game contains two stages, which I like to call: When everybody gave a “score”, you are able to begin with the actual exercise.

I usually don’t go in detail on the scores just yet, because this will be part of the later phase in this exercise.īy having everybody rate the topic for this retrospective, you immediately set the stage, create notion of how well things are going, and enable the next step of the exercise. Having these criteria of course helps, because people know what they will be “rating”. we are confident that we are able to achieve the sprint goal and complete the sprint backlog,.we have the necessary people, tools, … available to finish the backlog items,.we know how we will implement the work that we put in the sprint backlog,.all backlog items for the sprint are refined,.we have a clear sprint goal, the capacity is clear,.To kick off the perfection game retrospective, we asked the question “how well are we doing our sprint planning sessions?”, knowing that we have several critaria that define a “good” sprint planning for our team.
