Basic Team Mirror Canvas Template

—

The Basic Team Mirror Canvas is a powerful yet simple retrospective tool designed for Agile teams to reflect deeply on their work and relationships. In just 60 minutes, it guides teams through 7 essential dimensions of team dynamics:

Purpose Alignment: Connect daily work to meaningful goals
Growth & Challenges: Reflect on achievements and obstacles
Team Synergy: Evaluate collaboration effectiveness
Innovation Lens: Explore creativity and missed opportunities
Well-being & Balance: Assess team energy and motivation
Deeper Meaning: Understand broader impact of work
Future Aspirations: Identify key improvements for next sprint

Perfect for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, Project Managers, and Team Leaders who want to elevate retrospectives from surface-level discussions to profound insights. The color-coded sections create a visual map of team health, uncovering hidden strengths and growth areas.

Unlike standard retrospectives, this canvas goes beyond "what went well/wrong" to explore team purpose, psychological safety, and meaning—essential elements for high-performing teams.
