Journey to the CTR of the Earth Retro Template

Retrospectives can be fun! In this retro your team sets of on a journey to the center of the earth. Are you ready for this adventure? Well then, gear up and abseil down!

Remember, a retrospective is anytime your team reflects on the past to improve the future. Emphasize the Prime Directive and the Vegas Rule at the beginning of your retrospective!
