Scrumlibs Retrospective
Welcome to the Scrum Libs Retrospective
This retrospective is designed to highlight the alignment and teamwork of a team by showcasing how the team can finish each other's sentences. Or it can show how out of alignment the team is.
Prework
Note the number of expected participants for the Retrospective
Add/Remove sentences from the list
If you need to add more, consider common sentences that you hear in a retrospective
Create a list of the participants in a random order
Do this 2 more times ensuring that the same name doesn't appear in the same spot in your list
This will ensure that nobody is filling in more than 1 sticky note per specific sentence
Icebreaker - 5 minutes
Running the Retro - 5 minutes per column plus 1-2 minutes per sentence
Going Left to Right on the board, ask each person to start to complete the retrospective sentence
It is best if everyone does this activity at once
Advise the participants to avoid going into too much detail
Repeat for the other 2 stickies per sentence
When all the sentences are done, have the person who wrote the first sticky read aloud the entire sentence and discuss.
Did the team capture your thoughts/feelings?
