Agile methods are empirical. You must inspect and adapt to make agile work. This requires using effective feedback systems which are vital to your success. Agile teams often suffer from agile feedback systems that are dysfunctional—non-existent, delayed, or no learning from feedback. Satish Thatte explains three agile feedback systems—daily, sprint, and release—and their associated value and challenges. Satish discusses how to improve these feedback systems so they are beneficial to each team member, the project, the program, and the organization. The key is to use templates that capture information and show if the double feedback loops (basic as well as learning feedback loops) are working properly, and then to leverage connections among the agile feedback systems. As a bonus, every delegate receives these templates refined with feedback by industry users during the past six years.
