What's a year-in-review template?
A Year in Review template is a structured visual representation that divides the year into twelve months. Each segment, corresponding to a month, provides a space for users to input highlights, notes, visuals, or any significant reminders from that time. Areas in the template can include:
Monthly frames: Clearly labeled sections for each month allow for organized input of events or experiences.
Asset library: A dedicated corner, like the one seen in the January example, provides a space for storing images, logos, or any other graphical assets that one might want to use throughout the year's review.
Colors and themes: The varying colors and designs can be tailored to represent each month's themes, moods, or significance.

The Sailboat Retrospective is a low-pressure way for teams to reflect on how they handled a project. By defining your risks (the rocks), delaying issues (anchors), helping teams (wind), and the goal (land), you’ll be able to work out what you’re doing well and what you need to improve on for the next sprint. Approaching team dynamics with a sailboat metaphor helps everyone describe where they want to go together by figuring out what slows them down and what helps them reach their future goals.
