Therefore, Psychological Safety (PS), introduced by Edmonson with empirical evidence by Google's Project Aristotle, is a suitable instance for measuring trust and therefore identified as the most influencing factor in terms of Agile team effectiveness. In doing so, it became apparent that the concept of trust is a central cornerstone in the literature.

As a result of the sometimes hardly differing models of team effectiveness of the literature, it became necessary to conduct review and to develop a resulting viewpoint according to the current state of knowledge. The factors on which the effectiveness of teams depend, especially of Agile teams, have already been considered by many authors in the literature. Even if there are several supporting Agile tools in distinctive use, there still need to be information that could create an added value for Agile teams and support them in increasing the effectiveness of their teamwork. In fact, Agile methodologies have changed many aspects of project work but also made many teams significantly more effective. The use of Agile teams for project work is nowadays a common approach. The advantages and disadvantages of each game as well as eight lessons learned are presented in the paper. Moreover, depending on their individual preferences, different participants perceived different games as having a positive impact on their communication, motivation-and-involvement, and/or creativity, even though there were others, less numerous, who had an opposite view. The received feedback indicates that the approach helped the teams to mitigate many of the “accidental difficulties” pertaining to the Sprint Retrospective, such as lack of structure, dullness, too many complaints, or unequal participation and made the meetings more productive to some degree. In this paper, we report on an Action Research project in which we implemented six retrospective games in six Scrum teams that had experienced common retrospective problems. Our aim is to investigate whether the adoption of retrospective games can improve retrospective meetings in general and lead to positive societal outcomes.

However, there has been little research-based evidence to support the positive effects of retrospective games. To facilitate the implementation of the practice, some agile coaches have proposed to set up retrospective meetings in the form of retrospective games. As reported by several studies, the Sprint Retrospective is an agile practice most likely to be implemented improperly or sacrificed when teams perform under pressure to deliver. Nevertheless, running an effective and enjoyable retrospective meeting is still a challenge in real environments.

Not surprisingly, regular reflection on how to become more effective is perceived as one of the most important principles of Agile Software Development. You could do this as part of the retrospective but I find it will be sloppy and I get nervous doing it in front of people.In today’s fast-paced world of rapid technological change, software development teams need to constantly revise their work practices. This retrospective takes about 45 minutes Preparations You will need a big piece of paper or preferrably a whiteboard. This particular retrospective is a very visual way of finding our improvement actions. There will be another retrospective in a few weeks. Small, concrete actions are preferred before large lofty goals that we don’t reach anytime soon. The purpose of this, and every retrospective, is to help us to improve by coming up with a few concrete improvement actions that we can complete / test / do until the next retrospective.
