Many Agile teams have a built-in meeting called a “retrospective” or “retro.” It is a safe space to discuss working together. Effective retros are not about who gets credit or blame, but rather to identify problems and fix them. Often managers will not attend the meeting, to allow the team members to speak more freely.
