Abstract
Agile software development methods have changed nature of cooperation, collaboration and communication in software development. Retrospective is a regular part of Scrum framework and it is devoted to software process improvement. In this paper different games for improving agile software development processes are presented. These games can be applied during the retrospective meetings and they are grouped in five sections: data gathering, ongoing activities, timeline, and team cohesion and risk management.
