When looking to have an impact in the teams we work with, Jeroen suggests that it’s very easy to get lost in the many lofty goals we have, and sometimes feel discouraged by not achieving them for a long time. He suggests we focus on celebrating the small successes as a way to keep our focus, but also our energy high at all times!
In this segment, we refer to the Getting Things Done method, which we also talked about in the Tuesday episode with Jeroen.
Jeroen shares a fun retrospective that combines our love for sweets with some more serious aspects like asking important questions in certain categories (the colors of the M&M’s) from the team: The M&M’s retrospective!
Jeroen also shares other, less sugar-intensive, options for the same effect. And we also discuss the Agile Monopoly game.
