Retrospective
A retrospective (short: retro) is a team meeting with the single goal of reflecting on how to improve ways of working within the team.
A retrospective (short: retro) is a team meeting with the single goal of reflecting on how to improve ways of working within the team. This is done by identifying what worked, what didn’t, and why within a recent time period. We recommend running a Retrospective with your team every couple of weeks or at the end of a project milestone.
We have created a Miro template that you can use to run remote retro’s with your team. The template will help you and your team reflect on the most important aspects and guide the discussion towards a proactive outcome. Feel free to adapt to your needs.
The board is divided in 5 main areas:
Welcome Board: Optional reminder about the objective and do’s and don’ts of a retrospective.
A | Individual growth: Start off by talking about individual learnings and perceptions.
B | Team growth: This is the second part of the retro, where you talk about the team’s performance as a whole.
C | Open Topics: This is where you capture any left-over topics as well as next steps.
Facilitation Guides (highlighted in green): If this is your first time doing a retrospective, we’ve also included a short facilitation guide highlighted in green. We recommend deleting that, before starting the actual retro.

Development teams are often juggling many products at once. A product backlog is a project management tool that helps teams keep track of projects in flight as they build and iterate, so you can store everyone's ideas, plan epics, and prioritize tasks. The highest-priority tasks are at the top of the product backlog, so your team knows what to work on first. Product backlogs make it easier for teams to plan and allocate resources, but it also provides a single source of truth for everyone to know what development teams are working on.

App Wireframe Template
Works best for:
UX Design, Wireframes
Ready to start building an app? Don’t just imagine how it will function and how users will interact with it—let a wireframe show you. Wireframing is a technique for creating a basic layout of each screen. When you wireframe, ideally early in the process, you’ll gain an understanding of what each screen will accomplish and get buy-in from important stakeholders—all before adding the design and content, which will save you time and money. And by thinking of things in terms of a user’s journey, you’ll deliver a more compelling, successful experience.
