Gotham Retrospective

An agile retrospective: Gotham tv Serie Edition

Icebreaker

Warm up the conversation by answering what you think or how you feel if you find the Joker at a dead end, and go through all the answers together.

Prime Directive

Set the mood by reading a Prime Directive with a strong focus on the Batman universe and Gotham, create an environment of trust and security within the session (Trick: you can imitate Batman's voice to make it more fun).

Gather insights:

Encourage the team to answer the following questions:

• Det. James Gordon: What it is the kind of culture we are building in our "city"? Are there dark or challenging aspect in our project that resemble de nature of Gotham?

• Bruce Wayne: How can we channel any frustrations or challenges into constructive actions, turning potentials fears into sources of motivation?

• Edward Nygma: What unexpected challenges or mysteries have arisen in our recent work, and how can we collaboratively solve them as a team?

• Oswald Cobblepot (Penguin): What obstacles or challenges have we faced recently, and how can we expose their true nature to overcome them more effectively?

• Alfred Pennyworth: How can we strength our commitment to each other, embodying a sense of responsibility and care for the success of the team?

• Selina Kyle: What basic needs or motivations drive our team members, and how can we align our goals to ensure everyone is satisfied and motivated?
