Welcome to Springfield, where things don't always go according to plan. This Simpsons-inspired retrospective is a fun way to look back at your sprint, celebrate wins, talk through challenges, and figure out how to make the next one better.
How it works
1. Team Check-In
How's everyone feeling? Start with a quick mood check and see where the team stands.
2. Sweet Wins
What went well? Share the wins, big or small, and give credit where it's due.
3. D'OH! Moments
What didn't go as planned? Talk about the blockers, frustrations, and things that made you say "D'OH!"
4. Smart Ideas
Got a lightbulb moment? Share what you learned and what we could do differently next time.
5. Nuclear Risks
What's about to blow up? Call out potential risks, recurring issues, or anything that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
6. Next Episode Actions
What's the plan for the next sprint? Pick a few improvements, assign owners, and make sure the good ideas don't get forgotten.

Scrum teams, developers, product teams, and anyone tired of the same old retrospective format.
