Struggling to get input from quieter team members? Try these approaches:
?? Rotate Co-Facilitation in Retrospectives – Let team members take turns leading. It empowers them to share their perspectives in a structured, low-pressure way.
?? Share Agendas in Advance – Give time to process topics so they feel prepared to contribute.
?? Showcase Collective Work in Sprint Demos – Encourage teams to present their work together, fostering pride and confidence in speaking up.
?? Celebrate Contributions – Recognizing even small wins helps build confidence and encourages future participation.
Simple tweaks, big impact! How do you engage quieter team members? #Agile #Scrum #TeamEngagement
