Karthiga’s success definition is similar to what we’ve heard before: helping teams achieve independence and self-sufficiency. To illustrate that point, she describes an experience where a team’s decision to run retrospectives independently was both surprising and fulfilling, marking a key moment of maturity. This shift allowed her to focus on more strategic initiatives and support the team’s continued growth.

Karthiga highlights the DAKI retrospective format as a simple yet effective way to foster team reflection. By encouraging teams to categorize feedback into what to drop, add, keep, and iterate, this approach helps Scrum Masters facilitate actionable discussions. She suggests using tools like a retro postbox on a shared whiteboard to make capturing daily ideas a habit.
