The first retrospective

Sprint begin : 10-09-18

Sprint end: 17-09-18

This week marked the implementation of sprints. Sprints are a period of time in which short objectives are set out to facilitate quick feedback loops which is core to Agile practices. Retrospectives are debriefs of that sprint.

Below shall be the general format of my retrospectives, but has been retrospectively applied to this retrospective so will not be filled in with detail.
