Retrospective

Every two weeks, we run a short 1-hour retrospective to reflect on our experience and evaluate how to improve. It follows are very simple process:

• Write down all positives and negatives (7 minutes)

• Readout all positives individually (1 minute each)

• Readout all negatives individually (1 minute each)

• Vote on negatives (3 minutes)

• Brainstorm solutions for negatives (7 minutes)

• Vote on solutions (3 minutes)

• Discuss feasibility and delegate

You can find a Miro board with most Retrospectives here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lfNSlU4=/

A Retrospective Workshop is a great chance to experiment with facilitation techniques, new music or tools alternative to Miro.

Brainstorm positives and negatives

Duration: 10min

Ask everyone to write down everything that stood out as positive (green notes) and everything you think that can be improved (red notes).

Read out positives

Duration: 5-10min

Let each participant read out the positives and provide a bit of context.

Read out negatives

Duration: 5-10min

Let each participant read out their negatives and clarify what they mean.

Brainstorm solutions

Duration: 7min

Ask everyone to read through the negatives and place solution notes (blue) underneath in silence.

Vote

Duration: 7min

Without discussion, ask all participants to read through the notes and place 5 dots on their favourite solutions.

Delegate

For the clearly actionable steps, delegate the work to the Creative Directors, Experts or set up as community bounties. In difficult cases suggest improvements, create a governance proposal or reach out to the Creative Directors to help solve the problem.
