Johari Window Model
Works best for:
Leadership, Meetings, Retrospectives
Understanding — it’s the key to trusting others better and yourself better as well. Built on that idea, a Johari Window is a framework designed to enhance team understanding by getting participants to fill in four quadrants, each of which reveals something they might not know about themselves or about others. Use this template to conduct a Johari Window exercise when you’re experiencing organizational growth, to deepen cross-functional or intra-team connections, help employees communicate better, and cultivate empathy.
The Hot Air Balloon Retrospective
The Hot Air Balloon is a simple activity for helping the team identify things that makes them move faster, and things that slow them down.
Kudos Template

Team management
The Kudos Template boosts team morale by providing a structured platform for team members to recognize and celebrate achievements. It fosters a positive environment of appreciation, respect, and unity.
Daily Stand-up Meeting Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Meetings, Software Development
The entire team meets to review the day before and discuss the day ahead. These daily meetings, also known as “scrums,” are brief but powerful — they identify roadblocks, give each team member a voice, foster collaboration, keep progress on track, and ultimately keep teams working together effectively. This template makes it so easy for you to plan daily standups for your sprint team. It all starts with picking a date and time, creating an agenda, and sticking with the same format throughout the sprint.
Skill Cards
Works best for:
Agile
Skill Cards are a dynamic tool for assessing and developing skill sets within Agile teams. They provide a structured framework for reflecting on strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. With Skill Cards, teams can identify skill gaps, distribute knowledge, and tailor professional development plans, empowering you to cultivate a high-performing team with diverse skill sets and shared expertise.
Start, Stop, Continue Template
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Meetings, Workshops
Giving and receiving feedback can be challenging and intimidating. It’s hard to look back over a quarter or even a week and parse a set of decisions into “positive” and “negative.” The Start Stop Continue framework was created to make it easier to reflect on your team’s recent experiences. The Start Stop Continue template encourages teams to look at specific actions they should start doing, stop doing, and continue doing. Together, collaborators agree on the most important steps to be more productive and successful.
