Campfire Retrospective

Let's all go to the campfire! Where we can discuss things openly, and even make a smore.

There is an icebreaker option to make a smore with your team. Take an opportunity to do this and take note of who like burnt marshmallow, golden brown, and what kind of chocolate. This is an opportunity to break the ice and have a quick chat, and set the stage. Everyone's opinions are valued and important. We are here to seek continuous improvement and learn.
