Create a sticky note
Write text on a sticky note
Hit “tab” in text edit mode to create a new sticky
Hold shift key to select multiple objects with mouse
Add an image to the board
Connect the sticky to the image
Zoom in/out of the board; move left to right
Participants will then have an opportunity to practice the skills above by applying them to the icebreaker provided!

4 L's Retrospective Template
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Decision Making
So you just completed a sprint. Teams busted their humps and emotions ran high. Now take a clear-eyed look back and grade the sprint honestly—what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved. This approach (4Ls stand for liked, learned, lacked, and longed for) is an invaluable way to remove the emotion and look at the process critically. That’s how you can build trust, improve morale, and increase engagement—as well as make adjustments to be more productive and successful in the future.
Kaizen Report Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Operations, Documentation
What makes a great company great? They know that greatness needs to be fostered and maintained — meaning they never stop working to improve. If you’re one of those companies (or aspire to be), a kaizen report is an ideal tool. It creates a simple visual guide to continuous improvement activities on a team, departmental, and organizational level. Using a kaizen report approach, every employee in an organization audits their own processes and understands what they might have overlooked, making this a powerful tool for increasing accountability at all levels.
4Ps Retrospective
The 4Ps Retrospective template offers a structured framework for teams to reflect on past iterations or projects using the 4Ps model (Praise, Problems, Possibilities, and Plans). It provides elements for sharing positive feedback, identifying challenges, exploring opportunities, and setting action plans. This template enables teams to conduct retrospectives systematically, generate actionable insights, and drive continuous improvement. By promoting a balanced and comprehensive approach, the 4Ps Retrospective empowers teams to enhance collaboration, boost morale, and achieve their objectives effectively.

This template provides a fun and engaging way to internalize Scrum concepts and enhance teamwork, empowering Agile practitioners to deliver value more effectively.
Soccer Retrospective
Works best for:
