Lists seven concrete anti patterns and fixes for retrospectives, with actionable steps not theory. Calls out prime directive ignorance — add a short reminder to stop blaming and ask what constrained people. Warns against wheel of fortune item lists and urges spending time on five phases (set stage, gather data, generate insights, decide, close) plus fishbone or 5 Whys. Recommends rotating facilitators, prepping documents and links before the meeting, insisting on video (no recordings), and using circles of influence (soup) to separate what the team can do, influence or must accept.
