  • extended sprint retrospective is in order I was under the impression that these retrospectives are meant to deal solely with communication and collaboration issues

  • you're looking to have a post-mortem is that a standard methodology I can read about?

    @Jim Typically a retrospective would do just that, but if ways of working and communication could be the root cause of those technical issues, then it could still be appropriate (these things aren't set in stone.) They're both standard terminology, and often used interchangeably - personally I tend to think of a retrospective more as a regular occurrence, and a post-mortem as more of a one-off around a bunch of issues, but YMMV when searching around.

  • @jim, you could try the 5-why's (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_whys) to get the root cause of the problem.

  • @RobinBennett: Interesting! How would that be applied as a "formal" process?
