Ask HN: How do you keep retros from turning into therapy sessions?

2•harryosgood•2h ago
Every retro in my team is either finger-pointing or 45 minutes of “we should communicate better.” Now we log themes and points in Monday dev so the next sprint has actual, trackable changes. Do you guys have better ways to tackle this?

I hate retrospectives - and this is why. Please screw AGILE working completely and stop this bullshit.
mmarian•2h ago
Every discussion topic must have a trackable solution. Action points must be assigned to team members. Review progress on the action points.

Easier said than done, I know. Tech lead has to drive this.

cebert•1h ago
I believe it’s more effective to eliminate retrospectives and instead encourage team members to raise issues or concerns as they come up. This way, they can be addressed promptly and assigned ownership. Retrospectives can easily become unproductive meetings held every two weeks.
