The Simpsons Halloween Special Retrospective: A Spooky Review
1. Set the stage 👻
Before we jump into the retrospective, let's kick things off with a simple icebreaker. Ask your team what their favorite scary movie is. It's a great way to set the mood and get everyone in the Halloween spirit!
2. Generate insights 🎃
Now, let's get down to business. We're here to figure out what's been working and what needs improvement. No need to be scared of this part!
What brings our users joy? How have we delighted them this sprint? Think about what made them smile.
Imagine you have a magical monkey paw that can grant any wish. What would you wish we started doing? No fear, no limits – dream big!
Are we doing anything that's hurting ourselves? What could be improved, and how can we make it better?
What's gone a bit "evil"? What are we doing that's bad? Let's shine a light on those dark spots.
Who's been out of this world this sprint? Nominate a "star of the sprint" and let them shine.
3. Affinity Sorting and Dot Voting 🍩
Now, it's time to organize our thoughts. Ask everyone to look at the ideas and group similar ones together. Each person has "5 donut votes" to spend as they like. You can use them all on one idea or spread them out – your choice.
4. Retro "Bart" 🎯
To measure the return on our time investment, let's play a little game. We're going to use Bart Dart to assess three key statements:
Did we talk about what's important to me?
Did I speak openly?
Am I confident things will improve?
Place your Bart Darts on a scale from 100% confidence (inner circle) to 0% agreement (outer circle) for each statement. This will help us gauge our progress and see where we can make some changes.
And that's a wrap! The Simpsons Halloween Special Retrospective doesn't have to be scary or complicated. Keep it fun, keep it simple, and you'll uncover valuable insights to make your team even more awesome. Happy haunting, folks! 🎃👻
