Report

This template is a team retrospective and brainstorming board, structured around three powerful reflection zones:

  1. WENT WELL (Achievements & Strengths)

    • The top-left card encourages participants to recognize what worked successfully.

    • It celebrates solid achievements, wins, and repeatable actions that the team should continue doing.

  2. PAIN (Challenges & Frictions)

    • The top-right card highlights pain points: what caused frustration, slowed progress, or created obstacles.

    • This helps surface hidden blockers and encourages open discussion about difficulties.

  3. HOW TO IMPROVE (Ideas & Growth Opportunities)

    • The bottom-left card is dedicated to solutions and improvements.

    • It inspires the team to think about innovations, fresh ideas, and practical steps for the next phase.

Visual & Structural Features:

  1. Grid of sticky placeholders: Provides an organized space for team members to add their insights.

  2. Flow arrows: Guide participants naturally from reflection (WENT WELL) → challenges (PAIN) → action planning (IMPROVE).

  3. Bold, 3D typography: Adds a modern, engaging visual language to keep energy high during workshops.

  4. Clear, minimal background: Keeps focus on ideas and collaboration.

Best suited for:

  • Sprint retrospectives

  • Creative reviews

  • Team alignment sessions

  • Strategic planning workshops

Value: This template transforms abstract discussions into tangible, actionable outcomes while keeping sessions visually stimulating and collaborative.
