Shout Outs . On a virtual whiteboard , we all drop sticky notes of the # Victories we ’ ve had over the last ten days . We acknowledge the work and our team . We do this to make sure that we do not lose sight of all we are accomplishing and the people doing the work . Protip : When good things are happening over the week , we tag the post in our company chat with the hashtag # Victory , so they are easier to collect later .
Retro . Retros are an Agile ceremony and common for teams working in an Agile way , like ours . We prepare a virtual whiteboard with three columns . What ’ s working ? What ’ s not working . What can we improve ? The team takes 3-5 minutes to write down what is working and another 3-5 minutes for what is not . Together , we read and cluster like items and then together decide what is most important to work on in the next sprint .
Can / Should . Can / Should is a new board available in the Miroverse for free . The Miroverse is a Community Templates Gallery showcasing collaborative spaces of the Miro community , as well as their creators . This board was created by John Cutler . John is a thought leader on the topics of Agile and Teams working differently .
This transparency helps to keep our victories and challenges in view for the entire team to see and process . We find that these rituals invite new ideas and people to step forward who are interested in contributing with the skills they have today or something that they would like to learn .
Included in this brief article are basic concepts of a growth mindset and some fundamental practices we use in our company . Are you interested in discussing a growth mindset implementation for your company or organization ? If so , send me an email at
