Retrospective template

Look back at a stage, a bid or a whole job: four columns, quiet writing, then everyone reads out and votes on what to change next time.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Write quietly

    Five minutes per column: went well, to change, ideas.

  2. 2

    Read out

    Each person reads their stickies; group the duplicates.

  3. 3

    Vote

    Dots on what matters most to act on.

  4. 4

    Agree actions

    Each action gets a name and a date.

Built for the meeting

The board opens with the columns, the steps written on it, a shared timer and dot voting, so whoever runs it can focus on the people.
