Retrospective

The "retrospective" in Scrum is supposed to be done by the end of the sprint to state the situation, get the health check of the ongoing work and make sure you go on forward by using the lessons learned and go for the right next sprintplan.

Today I did a smaller retrospective of this week number 6 and honestly .. it has been a sprint I will never forget.

From a critical red Monday to a Friday filled with laughs, happy goodbye but also.. future sharing, planning and the statement of earning trust.

Today I went to the office for Nordea IT and gave away my laptop, keys and everything else requested after 22 years employment. Sad`?? well.. not really. Filled with respect to a company that have been open to all my carréer plans and development on many levels and that have supported me all the way in my ideas, energy and full execution... well I am just very calm but also ready for somethin new.

So.. no way.... no sorrows... I leave the company with great happiness and a mindset "lets keep in touch". You can imagine doing a full retrospective of the 22 years... I just did a very small one here.... enough for now.

Planning.... after a retrospective you start to plan for another sprint. And so we did.. A short, explosive and wanted sprint with sharing and trust as the target.

feels great, good and exiting.. and I long to walk on the beach and feel the wind in my hair and neck.

And maybe.... I dare to put my feets in the water... I want to swim
