Appreciation in Agile teams - "Shout Outs"

Here's a simple idea that provides great benefits for teams. I was working with a team that started giving "shout-outs" at their retrospectives.

Agile Lunch 'N Learns - ongoing practice

This is well known and simple to use. At my current client, which is in the middle of a large agile transformation, we have regular lunch learning sessions within the various Director's organizations. Not all groups are involved yet, but we working on it. In one of the groups I help we conduct a session about every 2 months with a final retrospective session near the end of the year.
