Frequently asked questions
How long should an end-of-year retrospective take?
Give a year-in-review retro more room than a sprint retro: 90 minutes to two hours lets the deeper conversations breathe.
Who should attend an end-of-year retrospective?
The whole team, and often a broader set of stakeholders, since you're reflecting on a full year of work rather than a single iteration.
