The 90-Minute Quality & Bug Reduction Retro
Too many bugs reaching production? Focus your retrospective on technical excellence and root cause analysis.
About this session
When production bugs become a recurring distraction, general retrospectives often fail to address the underlying technical bottlenecks. This session shifts the conversation away from general team sentiment to focus exclusively on root cause analysis and the specific habits that lead to code instability.
Why it works
By narrowing the scope to technical excellence, the session prevents the discussion from drifting into unrelated interpersonal or administrative issues. The three-step progression forces teams to move past surface-level symptoms and identify the exact points in their development lifecycle where quality checks are failing.
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
