Sprint Retrospective

An end-of-Sprint meeting where the team examines how they worked, identifies what went well and what did not, and agrees on specific changes to improve in the next Sprint.

Key Points

  • Held after the Sprint Review and before the next Sprint starts.
  • Includes the whole Scrum Team and focuses on the process and teamwork, not the product.
  • Produces a small set of actionable improvement items to try in the next Sprint.
  • Facilitated to encourage honest inspection and continuous improvement within a timebox.

Example

After a two-week Sprint, the team meets for 60 minutes to analyze their workflow. They note that code reviews were delayed, agree to introduce a daily review window, and decide to limit work in progress to reduce context switching. They add these actions to the next Sprint plan.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
