How to Run a Remote Retrospective
Apply Agile Principles Remotely to Move Your Team Forward
If you’ve previously worked in a tech company, you’ve already had your share of planning meetings that went too long, were dominated by one or two people, possibly didn’t even need you in attendance, and saw no clear goals or action items at the end of it. A retrospective, done right, will eliminate all that.
Whether you work in an office, have a hybrid setup or run things from a beach, we'll show you the tips for getting what you need to move your team, your project and your organization forward in our latest online course for remote teams.
