Date | RoTi | Comment |
---|---|---|
8/6/2020 11:13:33 | 2 | I like the discussion piece but the new format initiates a too-early cutline for contribution. Given that there are teams that still hasn't contributed to the retro doc even on the discussion day, it would be better to go back to the old format to ensure more engagement vs forcing a cutoff of content. |

8/6/2020 11:29:21 | 4 | I preferred this format to the previous format. |
8/6/2020 11:29:54 | 4 | I liked the new format with just a few discussion questions. |

8/7/2020 17:20:18 | 4 | Much improved! Even better would be to have more directed questions to collaborate on during the discussion period. |
8/10/2020 2:07:24 | 4 | I think the new format is a big improvement on the previous versions. Even thought I wasn't able to join the call I caught up on the recording and enjoyed the deeper dive into the various topics. I liked that the DRI for the retro identified common themes and then allowed deeper conversation around it. This provided me with insights and viewpoints I didn't consider previously and I felt like I got value for my time. |
