Summary

We just passed 200 episodes of The Humanizing Work Show!

To celebrate, we’re bringing back one of our most practical episodes—Two Key Moves for Better Sprint Retrospectives.

If your retros have become stale, repetitive, or ineffective, this conversation will help you turn them into one of the most valuable meetings you run.

Richard Lawrence and Peter Green share two facilitation practices that transform retros from a “check-the-box” routine into a continuous learning engine:

  • Using the Focused Conversation (ORID) structure to move from scattered opinions to shared insight

  • Treating each sprint as an experiment so improvement feels safe, steady, and sustainable

You’ll learn why “Stop/Start/Continue” hits a ceiling, how to collect shared data that fuels meaningful reflection, and why the phrase “let’s just try it for one sprint” can change everything.

Part of our 200-Episode Celebration—revisiting foundational ideas that make work more fit for humans, and humans more capable of doing great work.
