This is a good point, I will give it some deeper thought. My initial thinking is that this just frames the discussions that may ebb or flow around. However you may well have identified an area that I might need to improve. BTW, I am still using this video, which is why I am looking at it now. Yesterday I was at a client and explained how I run retrospectives and was just grabbing the link to send to them as a follow up. Broadly I still follow this pattern. Always areas for imrpveoment though so thanks for your idea.

yup, I have since invested in a decent lapel mic. I take the view that an imperfect video uploaded a few years ago with zero post prod is infinitely better than the perfect video that I have yet to upload.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're very welcome!

Thanks, I hope you have practiced a few of the techniques by now.

Glad you like it!

Lots more to come!

Thanks, will do!

Purpose , Outcome, Whats in it for me?, Engagement, Roles. assurity.nz/archives/the-use-of-power-for-meaningful-meetings/ In that company we had every meeting was expected to start with a POWER, although I concede it was often degraded to a PO start (pronounced POO). in fact we had POWER on posters in each room and even the clock behind me on the video had the "POWER: logo. I have done an agile nudge on Power Starts as well as some demonstrations, check my channel.

Thanks - I really appreciate that. recently I have been overloaded with a lot of work but am keen to do more in the pubic domain. thanks for the gee up and watch this space !

Yup, there are 5 events, including the Sprint itself. This was a discussion I was having with the practice of SMs at the time. In the Scrum Guide it is somewhat contradictory as the Sprint is a container for the other events and on page 5 it talks about the 4 events as opportunity to inspect and adapt. Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspection and adaptation, as described in the Scrum Events section of this document: Sprint Planning Daily Scrum Sprint Review Sprint Retrospective

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the question. Showing gratitude helps build trust and cohesion with the team, it also tends to frame positivity which has been shown to improve outcomes. Here is a great article on it from Forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/ericmosley/2019/11/27/the-business-impact-of-gratitude/?fbclid=IwAR26uoD1bbdQMYj_60E-kyYMXv9ClM_T_AfvGQIEeOypHek3DCa5n0dbbV0#198cab37630c

@@garethholebrook I think what Derek asks which I also wonder is how in practice you do this. It was not that clear, would be more like a private thing? each person receiving the Kudos . Or we all read the thank you from one member to another member in front of the other team members? Also how would you do it in a virtual environment? I have tried this with a Virtual board, it went fine, but since we were showing this to all, then the many times the thank you tended to be more in Team level more than individual people.

@@alexanderleanzabhnsdalen8847 I get people to write a thank you out for a specific thing to a specific person :"Thank you Fred for helping me do the unit testing", then I get Fred to read out the card and the conversation to flow. remember this video was done run 2018 (before COVID). In person this is a lot easier. I actually did this at an in-person retro a few weeks ago and it resonates well with the people there. It builds trust, empathy and appreciation.

Thanks - I've now invested in some decent sound, light and camera gear and will be doing quite a few more.

Thanks - I hope it went well.
