Transform Your Team’s Retrospectives from Boring to Breakthrough in Just 33 Minutes
Tired of retrospectives where eyes glaze over, someone pulls out their phone, and the energy drops like a stone? Where the same tired “what went well, what didn’t go well” format generates the same generic insights month after month?
“Agile Jesters, Magicians, & Clowns” is Adam Weisbart’s complete video course showing you how to snap teams out of calcified thinking using techniques borrowed from medieval jesters, master magicians, and improv performers.
What You’re Getting:
✓ THE COMPLETE VIDEO COURSE (33m 50s) – Watch Adam teach a live audience these exact techniques in real-time. See the moment skeptical agilists turn into believers when they experience the energy shift firsthand. No fluff, no filler—just pure, concentrated wisdom you can implement immediately.
✓ AGILE AD-LIBS SERIES #1 & #2 (PDFs) – Ten ready-to-print retrospective scenarios complete with facilitation instructions, parts of speech reference sheets, and retrospective questions. Includes “Where There’s Smoke,” “What’s This Meeting About?,” “The Only Way Out,” “Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands,” “Well This Is Romantic,” “In Retrospect,” “Walking Desk Man,” “That’s the End of Our Daily Scrum,” “Code Review,” and “Kitchen Appliance Hackery.”
✓ ILLUSTRATED IMPROV GAME INSTRUCTIONS – Two beautifully designed, print-ready instruction sheets for “Hippity Hippity Hop” and “Woosh/Bong” with clear visual diagrams showing exactly how to run these games with your team. No more trying to remember rules from a video—just print and go.
✓ THE COMPLETE FACILITATION FRAMEWORK – Step-by-step instructions for pairing up your team, filling in the blanks, handling groups of three, using the voting system to select action items, and everything else you need to facilitate these retrospectives like a pro.
Why This Works:
- The “Blame the Ad-Libs” loophole lets your team surface uncomfortable truths without anyone being “that person” who brings it up
- The medieval jester’s survival secret for delivering bad news without getting executed—now adapted for modern Scrum teams
- The master magician’s misdirection principle that helps teams focus on solutions instead of fixating on problems (the “target fixation” lesson from motorcycle training)
- Movement sequences that wake up brains faster than coffee—no Starbucks line required
