The role of the Product Owner is the most important role in a software development team. This role is far from easy, the area of responsibility is large and varied, the workload is usually as well, and so it may happen that “the seams start to burst” somewhere.

I am often asked how to conduct a Scrum Retro meeting correctly so that people would be happy to participate next time as well. And this is a very correct question, because if you conduct a Retro meeting in an incompetent way, it will most likely go wrong and people will have a traumatic experience instead of the expected benefit. However, a successful Retro meeting is extremely useful. Here you will find a detailed step-by-step description of how to carry out your first Retro or, if you have already done them before, you may find new useful tips.
Posters are very useful tools for conveying the message and there is great power in visualisation.
