Part 5: The Mesomorphic Guide to Holding Your Own Retrospective
正如所承诺的, here is a 博客 which covers the ins and outs of how we hold a retrospective at Mesomorphic.
如果你还没读过 博客 我们在周五发表了, then I suggest reading through that first so you can get a solid understanding of what the outcomes are for this process. 你们现在知道了, the outcome of a retrospective is to get a list of action points to be executed before the next retrospective. These action points help processes to be continuously improved, and by delegating action points to team members, it provides accountability within the team. Generally, the categories we use for retrospectives are:
- 我们喜欢什么?
- 我们不喜欢的东西
- 让我们困惑的是什么?
- 我们想要更多的
- 我们想要的少一点
- 我们想要的是一样的
For our retrospective on Friday however, we decided to reduce the number of categories and throw in a new one of “What do we want to try next”. 这就是回顾的美妙之处. You tailor the categories to suit your business/industry. The process is broadly the same, and you can get creative with your categories! Just don’t forget that the purpose of the exercise is to capture your wins as well as areas that need to be improved upon, so it’s important to include a “What went well” and “What didn’t go well” or a variety thereof. Once you have agreed on your categories, then you are ready to hold your first retrospective. If you’re all in the same space, post-it notes are great for capturing your thoughts. If you’re remote, it would be better to find an online tool which can be accessed by all your team. Before you start, you need to block off an appropriate amount of time to have your retrospective. 这应该不会超过一个小时.
步骤1 -设置场景
Once you have the whole team together, start the session by reading out the prime directive
不管我们发现了什么, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could, 考虑到他们当时的情况, 他们的技能和能力, 可用的资源, 以及手头的情况. ——诺姆·克思
The prime directive makes sure that everyone is on the same page, and agrees that there is to be no finger pointing or blame culture. You all did the best you could at the time, so now is the time to revisit and review.
步骤2 -收集数据
Each team member is to capture their individual thoughts and place under each category header. Remember, if you’re a team of one, you can still follow this process!
步骤3 -产生洞察力
Each team member reads their ticket to the rest of the team, in case it needs clarification. This is a time for the rest of the team to be listening rather than speaking.
步骤4—静音映射
For 5 minutes, each individual group the tickets made in step 2 by theme. You’re not allowed to speak during this process, you’re simply to group tickets together. You generally have 5 minutes to carry out this task.
步骤4 -确定组
一旦群体形成, the team decides together what the groups represent and gives them a suitable title.
第五步-投票
Each team member votes on the groups they feel are most important. There are a number of different voting strategies available, but we’d recommend allowing one vote per group on as many groups as desired, to determine the most important group to the team.
步骤6 -制定行动点
Using the group that has been determined as the most important to the team, create action points and delegate as necessary. Creating action points from a single group allows the team to focus on a single objective to improve on before the next retrospective. This makes it more manageable and is easier to look back over at the next retrospective to determine if the team was successful or not. 其他群体也不会被忽视, they will simply become the most important group in future retrospectives.
You will begin to see the value of retrospectives after your first run through. If you want to speak to us about this in more detail, please get in touch at contact@mesomorphic.co.uk
