Patterns for Retrospectives

OOPSLA'04 Workshop
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Sunday, October 24th

SUBMISSIONS DUE:  October 1, 2004


The theme of this workshop is the development of patterns for
retrospectives. Retrospectives are important, not only for object
technology, but for any human activity: to provide time for reflection, to
improve on performance, and increase our understanding of the task at
hand. The Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto state that, At regular
intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes
and adjusts its behavior accordingly. There have been articles and an
excellent book (Norm Kerth's Project Retrospectives) written on this topic,
but as is the case for many domains, experts know much that novices don't.
We believe that documenting expertise as patterns is an excellent way to
share knowledge. The goal of this workshop is to begin documenting
patterns for retrospectives and looking for a pattern language structure.
