"Shoot for the moon.
Even if you miss it you will land among the stars."
~ Les Brown
The Phases of the Moon Retrospective is an invitation to the Team to reflect on ways to improve their Team System using the Moon's monthly cycle. Just like the Moon, teams move through phases of growth, brilliance, release and renewal.
Reflection questions have been added to each area, prompting the Team to further engage in the discussion.
Every phase has its purpose.
How to use the Retrospective

After the team checks in, introduce the Retro and guide the Team to reflect on the different areas as it pertains to their Team System and current events.
Gather the Data:
Guide the team to cluster their thoughts & affinity map while they converse.
Gather Insights:
Encourage them to analyze problems/issues brought up and their corresponding solutions.
Decide What to Do:
