Reflection Workshops in Crystal

Reflection Workshops in Crystal are a key practice that focuses on retrospection and continuous improvement. These workshops are an essential part of the Crystal methodology, aiming to regularly reflect on the team's processes and interactions to identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments going forward.

Purpose

  4. Create action items: Concrete steps are defined to implement the agreed-upon improvements in the next iteration or project phase.
