Filter:
Went Well / To Improve / Action Items
A balanced sprint retrospective template. Celebrate wins, surface friction, and commit to concrete next steps. The "what went well retro" most scrum teams default to.
Use this template Read the full guide →Mad, Sad, Glad
An emotional retrospective format that surfaces how the team felt during the sprint. Best after a tough release or when morale needs an honest, human conversation.
Use this template4Ls — Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For
A reflective retrospective format that draws out both observation and aspiration. Useful when you want the team to look back at growth, not just at velocity.
Use this templateSailboat
Visualise the team as a sailboat: what's pushing you forward (wind), what's slowing you down (anchors), what risks lie ahead (rocks), and where you're sailing to (the island). Ideal for goal-setting retros.
Use this templateStarfish — Keep, More, Less, Stop, Start
A five-column variant of Start/Stop/Continue that adds nuance. Great for mature teams where black-and-white feedback isn't enough — "do more of this, less of that".
Use this templateRose, Thorn, Bud
A lightweight reflection format borrowed from outdoor education. A rose is a positive, a thorn is a challenge, a bud is an opportunity. Works well for 1:1s and leadership retros.
Use this templateKALM — Keep, Add, Less, More
A calibration retrospective. Instead of binary stop/start, the team adjusts the volume on existing practices. Good for teams refining a process they mostly like.
Use this templateDAKI — Drop, Add, Keep, Improve
A clear, decision-oriented retrospective format. Each column maps directly to a backlog action: drop a practice, add a new one, keep what works, improve what's almost-there.
Use this templateLean Coffee
An agenda-less format where the team proposes topics, votes on what matters, and time-boxes each discussion. Ideal for cross-functional or leadership retros without a fixed sprint cadence.
Use this templateKanban Retrospective
A flow-based retro for teams that don't run sprints. Focus on throughput, WIP limits, blockers, and cycle-time signals — the kanban metrics that drive continuous improvement.
