Debriefing• How did it feel being on a Scrum team?• How did the short iterations go?• How accurate were the estimations?• What would we have done differently

from the beginning, if we had another• What was the job of the Product Owner?• How did it feel after the first sprint when

almost all items required re-work?• How will your strategy change, if you

know the Product Owner is unavailable during sprints?

• How did inter-team communication go? Were there any dependencies? How were they resolved? 5 © Copyright Innovecs 2012
