Publisher's Review
Part 1: Basics

Let me briefly explain what a retrospective is.
And we'll introduce real-world examples to give you a sense of what the team is aiming for, what its purpose is, and how it should proceed.

Part 2: Practice

We will use a hypothetical development site as an example to illustrate how to introduce and establish retrospectives in the field.
We introduce the various difficulties encountered in the process of introducing and settling into retrospectives in a comic format, and explain how to overcome them.

Part 3: Techniques

Describes 20 retrospective methods, combinations of techniques, and elements of retrospectives.
The purpose and process of the method are presented in an easy-to-find format.

Part 4 TIPS

We introduce detailed tips and common concerns that arise in retrospectives that are not covered in the basic, practical, and technique sections.
This may be helpful if you are having trouble with your retrospective.

[Recommended for these people]

- I don't know how to proceed with the retrospective.
- Team members' willingness to participate is low and they do not feel the value of retrospectives.
- I can't continue to reminisce because I'm stuck in mannerism.
