Agile Retrospectives 🔄
In 2001, with the stroke of a pen, the agile retrospective was born. The last of the twelve principles of agile development reads as follows:
"At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly."
The agile manifesto makes it clear: In order to best live the agile values, teams should meet reguarly to check in and make adjustments. Most commmonly, development teams apply this principle by hosting regular retrospective meetings, and while that meeting is the focus of much of this page, it's not the only way to retro.
More recently, the concept of retrospectives has made it's way out of development teams and into all facets of business and teamwork.

SoundCloud said today it is rolling out a TikTok-styled discovery feed with vertical scrolling and short clips from songs. The music streaming company started testing the feature in March, and now it will be available to all users on iOS and Android in the coming days.
The updated app will allow users to listen to a 30-second clip of a song to let them decide if they want to listen to the full track. Users can tap on the play button while listening to the preview to hear the full version.
While artists can select 30-second highlights from their tracks, SoundCloud relies on Musiio’s AI — a startup it acquired in 2022 for an upgraded music discovery experience — to pick the best 30 seconds from a song automatically.
