Playing the Sprint Retrospective: A Replication Study

Abstract

The Sprint Retrospective is a vehicle for continuous process improvement. Even though it is a well established agile practice, running effective retrospective meetings is challenging. There have been a lot of identified problems that commonly occur during these meetings. To address them, Przybyłek & Kotecka [20] successfully revitalized retrospective meetings by adopting collaborative games, which represent a powerful tool in improving interactions among team members. In this paper, we report on a replication of their study in Bluebay Poland and IHS Markit Gdańsk. The received feedback confirms the original findings and indicates that game-based retrospectives improve team members’ creativity, involvement, and communication as well as produce better results than the standard retrospectives. This paper is an extended version of our previous work [25].
