Rose Thorn Bud Template

A visual and engaging way to spark meaningful reflection and team insights.

The Rose, Thorn, Bud framework helps teams identify positives (roses), challenges (thorns), and opportunities (buds) in their work.

This template encourages open dialogue, supports emotional check-ins, and promotes shared understanding—perfect for retrospectives, project reviews, or team health checks.

Ideal for facilitators and team leads who want to combine structure with empathy and forward-thinking.
