Weekly Retrospective Simple + delta

This is a weekly retrospective aimed at bringing any simmering issues to the surface, it is aimed at continuous process improvement, it improves productivity during the week. The idea is to identify process change, absolutely not a blame game, that attitude must be shut down, and agreement reached as to how this will be run.
