Regular team retrospectives
To create ongoing opportunities to reflect on how the team is working. Hold a retrospective every two to four weeks with a simple format: What has been going well that we should continue? What has not been going well that we should change? What ideas do we have for improvements? An ongoing team scaffold (team meeting), run every 2-4 weeks, not as a one-off session.
