Title of presentation: How To Theme Your Retros.

Retros are a great tool in your delivery manager arsenal and can be used to improve quality and effectiveness, increase team cohesion and add more of the human element to your role and work life.

This talk will cover how to theme, frame, and revitalize your retro sessions. Retrospectives don't need to be pedestrian, boring, and done on autopilot. From sports to video games, Netflix, and music you can use almost any subject matter to spice up your retrospectives, drive team engagement and freshen up your approach and retro session formats.
