Got to experiment with LS at Agile2019 retrospective. Here is my blog post about designing and facilitating it with Liberating Structures https://www.agileplayconsulting.com/post/agile2019-retrospective-with-a-twist-or-liberating-structures-for-the-win
Liberating Structures - a new find

I have used 1-2-4-all for large group retrospectives with continued success. Not only do you get impressive involvement, but in the case of workshops/conferences, it is a way to get people moving/talking/interacting after long periods of having been static.

Since my original post, I’ve had several direct encounters with Liberating Structures techniques in practice. For instance, Mike Burrows leverages 1-2-4-All (among others) in his Agendashift model. I’ve also directly spoken with someone at the Plexus Institute, which is where LS first evolved. It’s got my mind spinning on a couple of different but intersecting vectors…

I’m angling to use TRIZ with 1-2-4 for our next program retro, I’ll let you know how it goes. Also seeing more LS in the Scrum space which is positive.

Sadly I didn’t get a chance to use it, they ended up bagging our session. But I’ve still got all my prep work, looking to use it in a different session coming up. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Resisting Retrospective Antipatterns.pdf (1.4 MB)
So I co-hosted a meet-up and introduced both 1-2-4-All and W3 per the attached deck. In hindsight, the notion of retro anti-patterns lends itself to TRIZ - and I’d reverse the order of 1-2-4-All and W3.
Excitingly, my meet-up will be hosting @dgeaston in Novemeber. Denise is associated with the Plexus Institute, which is where LS emerges from.
