Teams go through the motions — what went well, what didn’t, what to improve — produce a list of action items, and proceed to the next sprint having changed nothing. The list sits in a document somewhere. The problems repeat. This failure mode is so common that many experienced practitioners have concluded retrospectives do not work.
