Agenda
• Motivations for Enterprise Retrospectives• Process Overview• Expected Results• Expect Actions
www.conteneo.co
You have many Agile teams.
To improve performance of the enterprise you need to conduct an enterprise retrospective – not just one team – but every team.
Improving Enterprise Performance
www.conteneo.co
Traditional retrospectives focus on a single, co-located team.
They can produce results that improve the performance of the team, but often fail to address the needs of the enterprise – the issues affecting multiple teams or beyond the scope of control of any single team.

We Need Online Retrospectives
Speed Boat is a well-known retrospective technique in which teams collaboratively identify the anchors slowing them down.
Playing Speed Boat online and at scale, we can efficiently conduct an Enterprise Retrospective.
The result? An Epic Win!

Setting Scope
We have found success in setting scope as follows:
Time Scope: Last 6 months or last release, whichever is greater
Process Scope: The complete development process from story creation, through development and into production deployment (release to customer).
