Valuable thought... I would recommend using this mindset when designing your videos as well.

Nice one David - snackable 5 min refresher. Love your core point about making sure the opening is engaging. Now, if only everybody will arrive on time for a crisp start, lol.

All we need now is “how to nail the first 30 seconds of your KZfaq video”

Good point... It helps

Thankyou David

I tried the retrospective where you ask team members to write down a character form the movies that represents how they feel right now. Only I added a twist to this, how do you feel right now about this sprint. After 5 minutes or so, I collected all of the sticky notes in a container and pulled each sticky note from the container, one- by- one and read the movie character to the team. I then asked the rest of the team to guess which team member wrote this sticky note. Once the team member who wrote the note was identified, I asked that team member to explain why they felt that way about the sprint that just completed. I soon had a collection of comments about the sprint from which I summarized all of the movie characters, team members and comments into a sprint review document. Thanks for you help

Its a good point that people get bored easily with the repetition including the moderator. Make it fun at the start and people will get engaged.

Very cool

That's amazing..Can you please share a fun idea to conduct retrospective?

Hi David, seems like easy to apply tips. Just a couple of questions, would you ask each person to describe for a minute why they chose that character? After these few first minutes you would dive right into the retrospective?

the first Global Scum conference I've been, was the best:)

Easy in case of colocation, how would you do it in case the scrum team is spread in different countries?

Hello brother, pls republish ur video try to come to the core point in lesscthan 30 seconds. Also add a case or a story with ur tealtime experience in retrospective meeting that helped this "30 seconds " concept. Good initiative, please keep going.

I wanted the first 30 seconds to tell me what to do in the first 30 seconds. At 2 minutes and ready to bolt, but sticking with it because I want to know the info.At 4 minutes I'm out.

the title of this video is what made me want to watch it, but honestly, you lost me when we’re at least a minute in and still have said nothing so I moved on to another video. I came back later to finish watching your video and it’s helpful but you take almost 2 minutes to get to the point.

Halfway through this video and he still hasn't said anything other than what a retrospective is and how important the first 30 seconds is. I had to turn it off.

you're assuming that people will write something down... geez these project manager videos are painful

This is a time suck product. Just do the work and stop talking about feelings.
