The Retro Process
At Pied Piper, we do retrospectives after every major milestone.
Structure
What Went Well
Celebrate wins. Give specific praise.
What Didn't Go Well
No blame. Focus on processes, not people.
Action Items
Concrete steps to improve. Assign owners.
Key Principles
- Psychological safety - People must feel safe to speak honestly
- Time-boxed - 1 hour max
- Action-oriented - End with clear next steps
- Follow-up - Review action items next retro
Continuous improvement is the only way forward.
