How to Best Learn from Your Retros: Choose One Experiment at a Time

<p>How often does your team conduct a retrospective? If you&#8217;re like most of my clients, not often enough. When I ask why the team doesn&#8217;t retrospect at least once every couple of weeks, these teams tell me many reasons: They don&#8217;t finish &#8220;enough&#8221; work often enough.

Three Ways to Use Guardrails to Make Progress and Adapt to Frequent Change

How Flow Exposes the Reality and Costs of Progress, Part 2

<p>How does your team show progress? Do they use activity-based (cost accounting) measures? Or, do they demo running, tested features? And possibly use a product backlog burnup chart to see each feature set&#8217;s relative progress? How can we understand the costs of this progress? I am a big fan of demos and a product backlog [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.jrothman.com/mpd/2026/08/how-flow-exposes-the-reality-and-costs-of-progress-part-2/">How Flow Exposes the Reality and Costs of Progress, Part 2</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.jrothman.com">Johanna Rothman</a>.</p>

<p>All organizations use cost accounting to report on their revenue, including profit and loss. We are so accustomed to using cost accounting that we don&#8217;t realize how it hides the truth about our progress. Worse, cost accounting creates and reinforces a culture of resource efficiency thinking.
