Using Gamification to Improve Agile Retrospectives
Agile retrospectives are a powerful way to reflect, inspect, and adapt — but let’s be honest, they can start to feel repetitive.

By integrating playful elements into retrospectives, teams can boost engagement, uncover deeper insights, and foster a culture of continuous improvement that people actually look forward to.
