Although team retrospectives have been prescribed and some practices have been introduced in order to implement and facilitate them, the truth is that most Agile teams are conducting dull retrospectives that end with a list of things that have been done wrong, just to repeat the same list two weeks later at the next meeting. Instead of listing hundreds of Japanese-labeled tools, this book gives you practical insights into how to spot improvement opportunities, how to plan for improvement and how to engage everyone in your company in the Kaizen process. In addition, it will also provide you with 27 proven practices and 12 bonus activities to introduce into your retrospectives in order to keep them fresh, creative and exciting, so you can promise a team that, in a year?s time, no two retrospectives will be alike. This book helps you as a manager, team leader, change agent or consultant in any type of organization to unleash the real power of Kaizen cultures ? no matter what kind of organization, market, product, technology, vision, goal or size. It provides you with the background, tools and practical hints on how to engage your organization in a process of continuous quest for new and better ways of performing. 606 $aElectronic data processing$xManagement 606 $aProject management 606 $aManagement 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aSoftware engineering$xManagement 606 $aIT Operations 606 $aProject Management 606 $aManagement 606 $aSoftware Engineering 606 $aSoftware Management 615 0$aElectronic data processing$xManagement. 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aSoftware engineering$xManagement. 615 14$aIT Operations. 615 24$aProject Management. 615 24$aManagement. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aSoftware Management. 676 $a005.1 676 $a658.4 700 $aMedinilla$b Ángel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0985375 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298970703321 996 $aAgile Kaizen$92252255 997 $aUNINA
