So, when she shared her reason for wanting to move on was, “I just don’t feel we innovate any more”, it got me thinking: How can we build innovation into our IT Projects?

Reflection and growth are part and parcel of life. These processes allow us to not only think back, but also act. In Agile, we reframe these as “inspect and adapt.” Retrospectives in Agile provide such opportunities to inspect, adapt and grow.
