Few observations, I have made during my agile journey which
affect participation in retro:
- Fear of retribution
- Name calling during/after retro
- Cultural background
- Command on spoken language of team ( especially important in multi-cultural teams)
- Understanding of Agile/Scrum
- Presence of non-scrum team members during retro
- Few persons are overwhelming to others
- Sub groups within teams (especially language, ethnic, and vendor/employer based)
- Personal nature (introvert vs. extrovert
To optimize the participation and outcome of retro, you need
to find out the cause of lack of participation.
One solution which has worked for my team in most of cases
is food sharing, not necessarily in a restaurant but in office cafeteria,
meeting room and even regular pot luck.
Last but not the least, SM and PO need to give time to team.
SM is a resident coach to team.
What are your views?
