About the Book
A retrospective smell is a signal that something might be going wrong in your retrospective. It’s a warning that problems might happen that will impact the retrospective result.
The Agile Retrospective Smells Cards help you to recognize smells and act upon that by solving the problems or mitigating the impact.
This tool consists of 7 retrospective smell cards. Each card provides a description of the retrospective smell and a list of antidotes.
These cards are an Agile Coaching Tool for Scrum masters, agile coaches, and anyone who facilitates agile retrospectives.
Retrospective smells are early warning signals. If you recognize them and act promptly, it can make the difference between a failed and a successful retrospective. These cards help you to keep your agile retrospective meetings effective and valuable.
