What's all this about?

When someone says 'feedback', what's the first thing you think of?

It's the retrospective, right?

Similar to a magic trick, this is due to preconditioning that makes this a predictable answer. It may be our 'go to' feedback mechanism - but it is not the only one. It might not even be the best one, depending on your goal. We want to inspire you to look a little differently at your team and organisation. You work in a sea of feedback, some obvious - some not.

Many teams consider only a small fraction of the available feedback to improve their behaviours. This website compliments a workshop which provides a simple process that allows an organisation to explore alternative and often ignored sources of feedback and decide how they might use and manage the information they uncover. The session is agile agnostic; it is not specific to any particular method.

The inspiration for this was actually Top Trumps, a popular card game from our youth. For each type of feedback we uncovered during our pilots, we created a Top Trumps-style card - this is the content of this site. Each card contains a title, description, categories with scores and pros vs cons. This deck of cards can be used immediately to jump start a team with using a new type of feedback.

We aim to add to our reference deck so it grows based on feedback from the audiences we present to. This will be freely available to the public and we want to actively encourage the growth of this feedback library to help teams think more creatively about the sea of feedback they already operate in.

Comments and discussion is welcomed. Each organisation has a different setup and challenges with using feedback. This deck is just to get you started!
