Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great is a practical guide to the Agile retrospective, written by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen. First published in the mid-2000s, it addresses retrospectives as recurring team learning sessions rather than end-of-project postmortems. Its central purpose is to help software teams examine their recent work, understand the conditions behind outcomes, decide on useful changes, and verify whether those changes occur. The book is organized less as a linear theory of Agile management than as a facilitation handbook. It combines a five-part structure for planning a retrospective with a broad collection of exercises that facilitators can adapt to a team, iteration, or organizational setting. Derby and Larsen treat improvement as a social and operational activity: people need enough safety to speak honestly, enough shared evidence to avoid unsupported blame, and enough discipline to turn discussion into limited, observable action. The result is a durable reference for Scrum Masters, Agile coaches, team leads, and project professionals responsible for continuous improvement.
