Hi guys, first of all I want to apologise for my silence…I have been extremely busy during last weeks and I did not have any time to devote to my blog :).
I´m trying to come back to my regular rhythm and write a blog every week.
This week I would like to bring another Agile Retrospective exercise. I learned this exercise last week in Amsterdam when I attended a Team Coaching training. It´s an exercise that you can use to close your Agile Retrospective.
If you are interested in getting some extra soft long tunic linen Delicate lace CLEO Violet super poncho trimming xIdq6vq exercises, I created a blog post with dozens of Agile Retrospectives Ideas, check them and see if you find something interesting.
What you can expect to get out of this exercise

The idea behind executing this exercise is very simple; the exercise will increase the positivity of a team.
The use of appreciations is something that is done by dozens of teams all over the world.
Studies proved us over and over that a positivity in teams leads to high performance, and of course creates a great environment inside of the team.
Therefore, if you are looking for an exercise that will increase positivity and team bounding, this is a possibility.
When you would use this exercise
Maxi w Long Dress Sleeves Apple Green I am a stronger believer that we do not need to have any specific reason to execute an exercise like this.
I believe in appreciations and that´s why I am trying to create an appreciation culture within a company where I currently work.
We will try to start or end every meeting with 5 minutes round of appreciations. I really believe this is something very easy to do and has an extreme impact!
How to do it?
Start creating a half circle with chairs. The other half of the circle will only contain one chair, that will face the whole group. This chair will be called the: “Central Chair”.
Make sure you communicate to everyone that you want to have an environment of respect, authenticity and profound listening. Afterwards, explain the exercise in the context of appreciative inquiry.
To start, ask one person to volunteer to be in the ‘Central Chair’. Other members of the circle volunteer and take turns (and their time), to say what they liked about the ‘Central Chair’ person’s contributions to the group or team using the sentence:
“You really served the group when.. and when..” ( keep it to a minimum of 2 appreciation statements) followed by “What I would like to see more of….”( keep it to 1 statement).
A few other members of the circle then volunteer their appreciative feedback. After a few people have volunteered, someone else volunteers for “Central Chair”. You gauge the length of time spent on the exercise, depending on the interest of the group, etc.

It´s important to give an extra opportunity to people to provide and receive appreciation but not forcing anyone to do something they are not comfortable with.
I believe this is a great way to finish an Agile Retrospective session.

Hello Luis
Just to let you know that I experimented this technique and it was well appreciated by the team. The challenge though was to get that first person to sit in the central chair…
Thanks a lot!

Hi Luis
Again, thanks for sharing.
Keeping the team motivated in a positive environment is quite a challenge.
Cheers
Teresa
Can you elaborate a bit more?
I really do not understand your point, you mean its difficult to keep a team motivated in a positive environment or its difficult to achieve both?
Thanks,
Luis
Hi Luis
My apologies, I didn’t mean to be so enigmatic about my comment. Let me clarify what I meant: It is sometimes difficult to keep the team motivated. I am hoping that this technique will help me do that.
I have observed that asking the team to say something positive to another team member may sometimes cause embarrassment.
Apple w Sleeves Maxi Long Dress Green I plan to test this technique. I will share my experience. Regards, Teresa
Ok now I got it
Thats why is so important to do this: “Make sure you communicate to everyone that you want to have an environment of respect, authenticity and profound listening.”
And another tip, I think this can be useful for you: http://lmsgoncalves.com/2015/04/01/how-to-create-a-safe-environment-in-agile-retrospectives/
