Debriefing Cube

Debriefing Cube

The Debriefing Cube has six sides that include 1) Goal, 2) Process, 3) Group Dynamics, 4) Communications, 5) Emotions, and 6) Take-aways. Recently, I spoke at the Agile Arizona North and South Meetups, as well as used the tool in a Advanced Scrum class to build a repository of questions that can be shared with learning communities during a debrief session or retrospective event. Please find the contributions of over 50 people sharing questions that can extend the debriefing cube initial set of questions.

Goal (Explore shared understandings):

* How familiar are you with fundamentals of Scrum?* Was the goal to understand the basics of Scrum?* Why did you play the game?* What did you expect and what did you learn?* Why did we play in groups?* Did the instructions help you understand the
goal?* Was the goal and outcome the same thing?* How did you self-organize?* Did we understand what the goal was?* Was there a shared understanding?* What was this easy or hard?* What was the source to form our agreement?* What do you think the purpose of the game was?* What did you think would happen?* Did you feel like everyone was able to
participate or was heard?* Did we have a shared understanding?* How do you know everyone understands before we
start?* What does success look like (Acceptance
Criteria)?* What was discussed, learned, or the objective?* Was there a reward / price?* Did we begin by seeking to solve first?* Was the goal / outcome the same thing?* Was the timeframe flexible and did we factor it
into the goal?* Was the goal easy or hard?* Was there an expectation to learn?* Do we know when we are done (Definition of
Done)?* Do we know when we are ready (Definition of
Ready)?* What was the value of the goal?* Was the goal attainable?* Did you have control of everything needed to achieve
the goal?* What the communication of the goal consistent?

Process (Explore the journey and the result):

* What roles and responsibilities emerged?* What step was hard?* What step was easy?* How could we make that more efficient?* What could we do differently?* Well? Not well? Better?* What did you end up feeling was the best way to
sort?* What part of the process was hard?* How would effectiveness be different if roles
were switched?* Do you feel everyone contributed?* How would it be different with more people?* If we had used Scrum.org would it have been
faster?* If we had divided role and responsibilities at
the beginning, would it have been better?* Was there any fun?* What approach did you take?* Did anyone step forward as a leader?* How did you participate?* Did you distribute the work?* Did you feel the process was worthwhile or
