 +
 +====== Notes ======
 +
 +What is the acceptance criteria of the presentation
 +
 +Timezones Objections to cost Fun Creative Culture differentiation Full team engagement
 +
 +Applicable if at 5 plus teams Need to scale all of our practices
 +
 +Planning event with people in person is like planning a wedding Size of group has big effect
 +
 +Web site How to run huge retrospectives
 +
 +Go to - Conteneo.co
 +
 +Multidimensional
 +
 +Exercise - retrospecting retrospectives + - what's working Delta - what want to change 5 mins
 +
 +Exercise - Retrospective outcomes / impact Graph over time Augment chart with specific changes 4 mins
 +
 +Four stages of retrospectives Early adoption Team maturation Organizational limits Why bother?
 +
 +Early New shared transactional memory systems Understand how each other works
 +
 +Organizational limits We've handle our crap We've handled the easy stuff
 +
 +At end of every sprint Means we reinforce that behavior that we can't take on organization
 +
 +Exercise - design challenge 30 teams in three locations Constraint - no budget to fly everyone
 +
 +Patterns Hold 3 ~ 100 people retrospectives Meta - retro
 +
 +Hold team retro for team Rollup Rollup
 +
 +Pair share between teams
 +
 +24 hour window to enter information to central place
 +
 +Send representative to place
 +
 +It's the best we can do?
 +
 +Are we having the impact we want
 +
 +3M is the secret funder of all things agile
 +
 +Single team retrospectives
 +
 +Collaboration is hard large teams We mistake communication for collaboration (new video tool is a communication tool)
 +
 +Games are about collaboration Goals Constraints Rules Voluntary participation Fun - which leads to engagement
 +
 +Idea engine
 +
 +Speedboat online - cloud form
 +
 +Last 6 months or last release
 +
 +We identify the teams and facilitators
 +
 +Anchor - impediment Propellor - good stuff Placement is how good / bad
 +
 +Individual retrospectives for each team As this is our organizational structure What the team feels it is for us Behind the scenes I can look across all the results
 +
 +Download the results
 +
 +Look at from categories People Process Tools/technologies
 +
 +Scope of control - Diane Larsen Team controls - direct action Team influences - The soup
 +
 +Positivity bias
 +
 +Let activity run for about an hour
 +
 +Propellers We should do this We could do this
 +
 +Look for patterns
 +
 +Clusters of coded anchors People, technology, process Team, pod, product, enterprise
 +
 +Dream log - what PO wants Product backlog - what will get Black log - what teams does because PO isn't doing job
 +
 +Now develop the projects to address impediments
 +
 +Running retrospective too frequently as need to deal with the results
 +
 +Share results Good through scrum masters
 +
 +2-3 weeks to plan out (get facilitators up to pace on each team, collect approach, design theme, metaphor to engage - not just speedboat, do a play test) Game play 1 week (but about an hour for scrum team) Post processing - 2-3 weeks
 +
 +Only use chat as it neutralizes cultural differences.
