Team Retrospectives

Rosetta Phan

Team retrospectives can be like taking a breather during a marathon race! They let the team look back at what they have achieved so far, take stock of where they need to do better, and then go full speed ahead with high fives and new insights on how to make things even better. To top it off, in a hybrid or remote world, retrospectives also help teams bond and communicate in ways that promote deeper collaboration.

There are endless possibilities to spice up your retrospectives, so why stick to the same old boring methods? White boards and sticky notes are clunky and not great for distributed teams and products like TeamRetro or Neatro cost an arm and a leg. With this doc you can:
