Retro Plan
Conclude
Going in a circle, give your roses and thorns about this meeting
What could be improved?
What was good?
Workshop
(part 2)
(Repeat steps 1-4 for other top items if there is time)
(Use the check mark in the text box to evaluate if the resolution matches the SMART criteria)
We heard everyone's opinion. Now, let's have an open discussion
Let's try and come up with an actionable resolution for the next Sprint
(aim to take about 5 minutes)
Going in a circle, each person has 30 seconds to say a few words about the topic
feel free to pass by saying "Pass"
(take notes in the table, or ask someone e.g. Alex to be the scribe)
(Write the topic for the first item in the SMART table)
Workshop
(part 1)
Okay, voting done.
(name the top 3 cards that received the most votes)
Now, let's vote
Everyone gets 5 votes and 2 minutes to place your votes
What Post-Its are similar? Which cards can be grouped together?
(team suggests, and makes similar cards the same colour)
(Start the timer for 10 minutes)
extend the timer if needed
We have done this exercise before: it should be familiar to everyone
and finally we will discuss the top ideas, and make resolutions to be carried into the next Sprint
then we will have 2 minutes to vote
then we will cluster similar ideas together by making them the same colour
we will have 10 minutes to create Post-Its with ideas aimed at improving our processes
For this meeting, we prepared the Agile Starfish Workshop
(share the link in Zoom Chat)
Ticking Time Bomb
Does anyone have a burning issue, something that must be raised and discussed now, before we proceed to the workshop?
(you can see the description for this section in the agenda in Confluence)
Check In
Let's do a check-in
Going in a circle, share one positive interaction you had with another team member last Sprint
(Optional) Before we do the Check-In
This meeting is confidential
all details of the discussions should stay in the meeting
if ever you need to share any details, ask the permission of the team
Make a note of the Prime Directive in the Retrospective Agenda in Confluence
This meeting has no place for blame or criticism
The idea is that we want to create a safe space in this meeting where difficult topics can be discussed
