The Once Upon A Time Retrospective
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'

Tell the story of your last iteration by using themes from classic fairy tales to generate insights as a team.
Prompts
Emperors New Clothes - Where are we just going with the status quo? How could we create an environment that helps us speak out and challenge one another more?
Goldilocks & The 3 Bears - What's in our goldilocks zone? What was just right for us in the last iteration?
Snow White - What's our teams poisonous apple? What risks do we need to look out for in future iterations?
Three Little Pigs - Where are we huffing and puffing as a team? How could we build stronger foundations and make our team more resilient?
Happily Ever After - What does our vision for a great next iteration look like? What would make our team live happily ever after?
Retro the retro:
Inspect & Adapt the retro itself by rating how much value it brought you & the team using the fist of five scale. Retros themselves should also be subject to continuous improvement
