Introduction One of the biggest challenges of a ScrumMaster is to conduct retrospectives. Running one retrospective is easy: Every conscientious ScrumMaster most likely has read the retrospective bible, Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen (and if you haven't, I highly recommend that you do so straightaway). So you just need to follow the guidelines and your retrospective will go smoothly. Right? However, if you have, as most people do, two-week iterations, you will hold, more or less, 20 retrospectives in a year. Running such a number of retrospectives becomes an interesting challenge.
How do you keep your team focused during retrospectives? In this article, I will present a concrete exercise that will, I hope, boost your next retrospective.

A friend of mine, Mike Hansen, is doing research on how people comprehend programs. The goal is to figure out some way of measuring what features in programming systems help programmers understand what they are doing, and how this can be used to make systems that lead to higher quality software. Mike is currently running an experiment where he shows people several short Python programs and asks them to tell the output of the program.
The test subject is sitting in front of an eye tracker, so afterwards Mike can see where you were looking at various times during the experiment. I was one of the test subjects, and Mike was kind enough to let me have a video of the eye tracker data superimposed on my screen. One of the things that stood out to me in watching the video was how much my mind seems to work like a computer. In programming language terms, I seem to be doing some kind of just-in-time compilation. Agile Testing & BDD eXchange 2012: Gojko Adz.
