Anchors and Engines

Start your engines.

BUILD AND DEPLOY THE RIGHT PRODUCT.

Purpose

Reflect on an event/sprint and learn something new to improve on for next time.

Anchors and Engines is frequently used with agile methodologies in the context of a sprint, but also works very well after any design thinking phase or after a project completion. The technique responds to accelerating, inhibitory, and environmental factors that may affect a team or organization. It also promotes the “failure mindset”, where mistakes are not failures but an opportunity for change and learning.
