Episode 2: Ocean’s 11 (1960)
Our second episode is up and streaming through iTunes. In this episode, we conduct a team retrospective (by proxy) for Ocean’s 11, the original 1960 movie. Our participants this time around are:
- Ronica Roth
- Leigh Motheral
- John Martin
- Yvonne Kish
Two hours of retrospective distilled down to 47 minutes and eight seconds!
The tool we used in this episode for visual interaction was Google Docs. Techniques included: Business Cards, Retrospective Poker, Event-Driven Values Santafish, and Radar Plot (which I think I called a spider chart on the show). Screenshots will be available in the Ephemera posting for this episode.
The music was taken from the album Life the Movie, by Fri.Events. I used the song “Hide and Seek” because it sounded very caperish. Once again, we’ve been mining Jamendo for Creative Commons licensed music. That song is available under a CC 3.0 Share-Alike Attribution license, and so is our episode.

The next post will be the Ephemera post, a collection of bits and bobs related to the discussion during this episode.

Episode 1: Charlie’s Angels
Our first episode is up and streaming through iTunes. In this episode, we conduct a team retrospective (by proxy) for Charlie’s Angels, the 2000 movie. Our participants this time around are:
- Amy Renshaw
- John Martin
- Ken Clyne
- Julie Chickering
Two hours of team retrospection distilled to less than one!
The tool we used in this episode to draw and make cards was Cacoo. Techniques included: Time Line, Energy Seismograph, and Balloon.
The music for this episode was taken from the album How to Buy a TV, by Nelson Jenstad. We used the song “On Air”, which seemed appropriate for this movie based on an old TV show. Both the song and the podcast are available under the same Creative Commons license. We recommend exploring Jamendo, there’s lots of good stuff in there. Maybe we’ll pick a permanent theme some day, but for now, I’ll keep mining Jamendo.

So, every couple of months, we put out this fun and exciting podcast. The idea is to have some fun playing with different tools and techniques for conducting agile retrospectives with a massively distributed team. We watch a movie, we log into some new tool, and we play games. What could possibly go wrong?
