TeamRetro facilitates this through recurring retrospectives and health checks, allowing teams to review priorities and make necessary adjustments. It helps you set the context by sharing business goals as the start of each retrospective to keep them at the forefront for each team. Ensuring that actions are aligned with these business priorities can also be easily seen. Additionally, the people within a team can create a set of team agreements that not only guide what they do, but how they work.
