New Retrospective - Once Upon A Time - What's the story of your teams last iteration?
I've been feeling a little whimsical today so decided to update and share a retro template I created as part of one of my first live workshops.
In the workshop titled - "How to create an engaging remote retrospective", I shared with participants how I create retrospectives. Together we crowd sourced a theme - Once Upon A Time, and created a brand new retro with it.
Retro number #90 in my collection is then 'Once Upon A Time Retro'
