Distributing a clear and precise agenda, and defining the meeting’s purpose, sets the expectation that this is not just another gathering to discuss the project. By laying out what behavior is acceptable and unacceptable, team values and
working agreements can be established. The other answers are incorrect because even though a specific start and stop time may be a good idea, it’s not the best answer presented here. Meetings must always have an agenda and rules. In
addition, not all stakeholders are invited to the retrospective; anonymous input isn’t part of the retrospective.
