Sailboat Retrospective

Description

Why do this workshop?
The sailboat is a retrospective/futurespective hybrid template. It combines backward and forward-looking elements that ask a team to assess what is holding them back and pushing them forward towards their goal.

How to run this workshop?
Time needed: 60-75 minutes

  1. Introduce and explain the template to the team.
  2. Start with asking the team to write what they think the overall team goal is, and place their sticky notes on the island. Group similar sticky notes and discuss (10 mins)
  3. Ask the team to start thinking about the current sprint. What was an 'anchor' holding the team back, and what was 'wind' pushing the team forward?
  4. Ask the team members to write their ideas and place them in the anchor or wind sections (10 minutes)
  5. Group the items as a team and discuss them (10 minutes)
  6. Move on to the final section: what hidden rocks are coming up, and could ground the ship? (10 minutes).
  7. Group these items again and discuss (10 minutes).
  8. Now look at the combined past and future groups and see if there are any further common groups you can make. (5 minutes).
  9. Hold a voting session to uncover the three most important themes (5 minutes).
  10. Brainstorm and discuss solutions and actions for the top themes (10 minutes).
  11. Group the solutions and hold a voting round (5 minutes).
  12. Decide an owner for each of the top three actions.
  13. Finish the retro or hold a closing activity.

Metro Retro
 Metro Retro is a free web app that helps teams run productive, engaging and fun retrospectives. 

It uses real-time updates, adaptable templates and a quirky sense of humour to help you run the best possible retros!

It is great for distributed teams where a face to face retrospective is not possible. It is also great for co-located teams for shorter meetings, less wasted paper and always available history of your retros.
