Summary

Kira Booth shares her experience with using retrospectives as a tool for team growth and process improvement at Plaid. The company conducts end-of-sprint retrospectives every other Friday afternoon, discussing what went well, what needs to be improved, and any noteworthy events. These meetings have led to positive changes in the team's processes, such as implementing an onboarding curriculum with a mentorship program and establishing biweekly SLA Days for addressing technical debt. Booth emphasizes that retrospectives should be regular, enjoyable, safe spaces where everyone can contribute openly and honestly. She also highlights the importance of assigning action items and following up on them to ensure progress is made.
