So a Team I coached held a retrospective which I facilitated and I went around post retro and greased the action plan with other managers, so people were not caught of guard.  I greased the future actions so they might go over smoother. Now this scenario does not happen all the time but does every so often especially when the retrospective actions involve people outside of the core team.  There are cases when the effort a team wants to do involve others.  So to aid the team as their agile coach/scrum master I went around individually to any affected people and brought up the plan, gathered their feedback and their buy in before sharing the summary of the retro and the actions to be taken. Scrum Masters need to do this from time to time and not just leave the probability of success up to the four winds.  Sometimes we have to get involved to facilitate a success just as much as a meeting. That is our topic for today 4R Thursday program where we talk roles, requirements, reviews and retros.  Here we are talking the role of a scrum masters/agile coach and the post retro support activities on the #5amMesterScrum Show 1279.   This is the audio podcast version of the program found on LinkedIn, Youtube and Facebook.
