Scenario

When team retrospectives become meaningless rituals

Our engineering team has this ritual where we do post-mortems after every incident but we never actually change anything afterward and everyone just goes through the motions. I've started dreading these meetings because they feel like performance theater and I don't know if I'm the only one who sees it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The team has created a process that provides the appearance of learning without the discomfort of actual change.
