A Christmas Retro

Report

'Twas the night of reflection, when all through the team, Not a task was unexamined, not even a dream. The framework was set on the board with such care, In hopes that retrospectives soon would be there.

Managers nestled all snug in their chairs, While visions of milestones danced in the air. Stakeholders and teammates, with tasks to uncover, Had just settled in to assess with each other.

With sections for wins, and lessons well-taught, They dove into memories, each cherished thought. Reflecting on projects, with laughter and cheer, Bringing holiday spirit to the close of the year.
