Christmas Retrospective is a festive, tree-shaped agile retrospective template designed to help agile squads, product teams, and cross-functional groups celebrate their achievements and reflect on their journey at the end of a sprint or year. Decorate the tree tier by tier to review major wins, unwrap key learnings, identify process tangles, and set goals for the future.
What's Included on the Board

Gifts (What did we receive or learn?): Focuses on new insights, personal breakthroughs, technical takeaways, and support received.
Ornaments (Memorable moments worth keeping): Highlights positive memories, team camaraderie, and highlights worth preserving.
