A Halloween Retro
Make next steps less spooky and more actionable.
A Halloween Retro
October is Halloween month and if you're hosting a retrospective during this time, how can you even resist a Halloween-themed retro board? Bring out your spooky game, a cup of pumpkin spice latte and gear up to have the best retro of your life!
Halloween Bingo 🎃
For the icebreaker, we have a Halloween-themed bingo! The rules are the same as regular bingo - if you match with a square, mark it with the provided marker. If you complete a row across, down or diagonally, shout B-I-N-G-O! Once everyone has had a chance at marking their bingo sheets, browse around and discover some interesting tales.
What's sweet last sprint? 🍭
Halloween and no candies? Impossible! Drop some kudos in the candy jar to let them know how much their contributions mean to you. Next, make notes on what went well in the past sprint and discuss these points with your team.
What spooked us last sprint? 👻
Okay, this is scary but it has to be done. As a team, make notes of what didn't go well in the last sprint and discuss these points with your team. Don't spend too long here though or else the zombie will step out of his haunted house and make you his next meal.
What's cooking for the next sprint? 🍯
The wizard and the witch may be cooking a magic potion for their next trip, but in the meantime, you can jot down some action points for your next sprint. Based on what didn't go so well, come up with these possible actions to take as a team. Limit the total actions to either two or three, though, because having too many actions may not always be a good thing.
Keep the witch away, light the candles 🧙♀️
A wandering witch on a full moon is never a good idea. Keep her away by quickly lighting some candles. Based on how your team thought the retrospective went, ask them to copy the flame and light the desired group of candles to convey their feedback. Remember, you can have multiple flames for a candle because they're magic candles!
That's it. Happy retrospective!
