Sunday Retro (or why I'm in love with Pivotal Labs)
I’m currently working on a project at Pivotal Labs! If you’ve never heard of them, they’re an exciting software consultancy that preaches and practices agile development and pair programming. Working with them has been one of the most meaningful experiences of the past year and a half of my life.
Pivotal has a very specific culture and they take great pride in pruning it, perfecting it, and figuring out how to transform the way they transform the way people work. (Confusing, right? Think about it - they teach people how to teach other people how to work better and more effectively. What an awesome mission.)
When my project began, they handed us a glass of the Pivotal kool-aid and I kind of grabbed a whole pitcher.
Thus, the Sunday Retro is born! Each week, the idea is to reflect. What did I like? What was meh? What do I want to change? Sometimes action items come out of the retro, sometimes just awareness. All good things.
