Discovery[1] has not had any formal practices in place so far, aside from regular team retrospectives and annual reviews. We are looking into adding feedback tools, with Erika taking the lead on that. We are also considering some sort of workshop or session to help everyone learn how to be more effective both at giving feedback, and receiving it.
I should mention that I think Discovery members are already above average when it comes to thanking and praising each other. The main reason we started talking about feedback was that some people don't feel like they receive enough constructive feedback that would help them know what areas they should focus on improving. Thanks for starting this thread. I hope to learn from it.
