Scrum Retrospective Meeting is Necessary and Sufficient

Scrum, and other agile methodologies, is a hodgepodge of roles, artifacts, meetings, rituals and concepts. In this post, I’ll try to convince you that there’s one concept that stands tall among the rest - the retrospective meeting. I’ll claim that it’s not only useful, it’s both necessary (you need it to do well) and sufficient (you can do well with the retrospective alone).

Thanks for writing this. Using Scrum in Data science teams was a struggle in every company I worked for. Often times it didn’t even exist. This post really helps nailing what we were missing and how to fix it.
