Summer Retro

Step-by-Step Instructions:

2. What felt like a sunburn?
In this section, team members note down the challenges, obstacles, or issues they encountered. These are the pain points that need to be addressed to avoid future discomfort.
3. What new seashells of knowledge did we find?
Here, team members share new insights, skills, or knowledge gained during the project. This helps in recognizing the learning experiences that can be valuable for future projects.
4. What should we change to catch the perfect wave next time?
This section is for suggestions and ideas on how to improve processes, tools, or teamwork. It focuses on actionable changes that can lead to better outcomes in the future.
