The 'Built-in Quality' Retrospective
Too many bugs? Shift your focus from 'quantity' to 'quality' in your process.
About this session
Teams often get trapped in a cycle of shipping fast only to spend the next sprint fixing the resulting bugs. This session helps you break that pattern by pinpointing exactly where your process prioritizes speed over stability and defining new standards to catch errors at the source.
Why it works
This structure shifts the group's perspective from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention. By analyzing the workflow step-by-step, participants stop viewing quality as a final inspection phase and start identifying the specific systemic gaps that allow defects to reach production.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
Who it’s for
Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches
