I’ve been taking some much needed time off, having not been able to take some of my corporate vacation last year. During this time, I am watching the Beatle’s Get Back documentary directed by Peter Jackson.
I’ve always liked their music, and have enjoyed watching the back room machinations of their time in 1969.
I can tell that I’ve been working in an Agile world, when I came to the realization that almost every day the Beatles did a retrospective. They looked at what went well during their session that day, what they may focus on the next day, and what they have learned.
They also started each day easing their way into all the challenges coming up, sitting around and talking. Was this a seated “Stand Up?”
