Simple Outcome Focused Retro

Haley Campbell

Report

Building on the "What? So What? Now What?" retro format, this retrospective template allows your team to stay focused on positivity and problem-solving while still making space to check in about perennial issues and the team's mood overall. It's broken into four sections:

Icebreaker: a frame to add your team's favorite icebreaker activity, or switch it up from month to month.
The Cactus Patch: Inspired by "Rose, Bud and Thorn" retros, this the spot to take a quick pulse on issues that persist throughout the year, and check in on the team's overall mood. It helps keep retro focused on solvable problems.
Loved / Learned / Lousy: add stickies to share successes, learnings and challenges.
What? / So What? / Now What? Pull stickies from the "Lousy" column here and brainstorm solutions!
