Recently I’ve made a list of all books about retrospectives that I’m aware of for my Retr-O-Mat newsletter. Just in case you also want to explore this topic:
- Agile Retrospectives by Esther Derby & Diana Larsen
This is the classic. Very valuable! I’ve read it at least twice. - If you’re German, check out:
Erfolgreiche Retrospektiven by Judith Andresen
I’ve been to one of Judith’s workshops and really like the activities as well as her additions to the “canon” such as a 0th phase and how to match activities to the team situation. - Project Retrospectives by Norm Kerth
AFAIK the first book about retrospectives, albeit in a non-agile setting, i.e. retrospectives last longer and are less frequent. - The Retrospective Handbook by Pat Kua
- Getting Value out of Agile Retrospectives by Ben Linders and Luis Gonçalves
- Retrospektiven in der Praxis by Marc Löffler
My very own Retr-O-Mat Print Edition is not really book, but just in case 😉
[This blog post was scheduled to be published before the author went on vacation and is valid without signature 😉 See you guys mid-December!]
Update 2016: In the meantime I’ve written an book on the retrospectives, filled to the brim with activities and other advice to improve you retrospectives.
Hallo Corinna
Danke, dass du mein Buch hier aufgelistet hast. Dein Retr-O-Mat wird dort übrigens auch erwähnt 🙂
Gruß
Marc
