Course overview

Agile Retrospectives Masterclass

Maintaining a productive, engaged, and cohesive team is not just a dream—it's a necessity. But despite your best efforts, you might find your team stuck in a loop of inefficiency, disengagement, or constant firefighting. They have the skills but lack the system.


Agile Retrospectives are your key to breaking this cycle. They're not just a "nice-to-have" meeting at the end of an agile sprint. They're the most cost-effective way to align your team, boost morale, and deliver exceptional results.


However, most available guidance on running effective retrospectives is either too generic or lacks actionable steps. Maybe you've conducted retrospectives before but haven't fully maximized their potential to drive real change.


We need to redefine how we think about teams, their productivity, and the processes we put in place for them.


As someone who's been in the trenches—as a lead developer, Agile Coach, and fractional COO—I've run 100+ Design Sprints and Retrospectives. In this course, I distill my years of hands-on experience into frameworks, techniques, and practical Miro templates proven to work specifically for tech teams.

Who is this course for

01

Team Leads who are responsible for one (or more) teams and want to help them be more productive, happy, and engaged.

02

Agile Coaches who've run Retros before and want a structured, time-saving approach to run effective team workshops.

03

HR Professionals who want to increase employee engagement, and create a feedback culture, so teams can work better together.

What people are saying

        "I had a unsatisfied feeling about retro’s without action points and low engagement. Those retrospectives felt like a total waste of time (for me and the team). The course helped to increase engagement and give retrospectives the right structure that create clear action points that we circle back to."
Thomas Peters

Agile Lead @ Bynder
        "My team went through this course and now I feel relieved that I'm not the bottleneck anymore when organising retrospectives. The additional benefit is that the group can learn from each other and has proven to be open to receiving and providing feedback."
Guido de Vries

VP of Software Development @ Crave Interactive
        "Relief! Retros now seem less daunting. I feel there is still room for improvement in our team, but each video's simple explanations and examples were extremely helpful."
Selina

Selina

Lead Software Tester @ Crave Interactive
        "I felt a bit overwhelmed by how much information there was on retros. The videos were short, informal and information dense. I liked this style as it meant I could rewatch to learn more each time and pay attention for the entire video."
Calum Grant

Software Developer @ Crave Interactive
        "I had never facilitated a retro before and wasn't sure what was necessary. The good short videos were broken up nicely and never felt overwhelming. In my first retro we had high levels of engagement.."
Christopher Bennie

Christopher Bennie

Software Developer @ Crave Interactive
        "I liked from the course that both the reasoning why retros can be useful is explained, as well as a more hands-on approach to how Miro can be used to facilitate retros. The Miro templates to put things into practise are very useful."
