Challenging Retrospectives Podcast

About this podcast

This is not only bad business but also for team morale. In this podcast, Head of training, Duncan Evans is joined by Professional Scrum Trainers Daria Bagina as they discuss 5 challenges with retrospectives, and ways Scrum Masters can overcome these challenges and make the Sprint Retrospective valuable.
