Retro Wheels

This is a retrospective designed to sum up the results at the end of the year

“Oh, man, another retro? Ok, I just need to sit it out, and then I’m free.” No! Let's make some fun at the end of the year: just add some entertainment to your activities and make your team happy.

CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE

1. How has your year been?

2. What happened this year

Ask participants to think of two momentous events (positive or negative) that happened this year, one personal life and one work event.

COLLECTING FEEDBACK AND OPINIONS

3. The Zoo (also perfect icebreaker)

If your team member was an animal, what would it be? Participants have to pick an animal, write their choice on a post-it, share it with a teammate, and explain their choice.

4. The wheel of opinions

Save the categories and write your thoughts on each topic

5. Who? What? When?

Ask participants to study the information on the post-its placed on the wheel and work out action points.

CLOSING THE MEETING

Dear Santa

The team must write a letter with wishes and promises to future selves. Ask them to write it on an A5 sheet and put it in an envelope to be opened in half a year. It'll be fun to read it six months later and check what wishes come true.

You'll find an example inside the template.

To wrap things up, don’t hesitate to experiment and get creative. Relax and enjoy the process together with your team!
