Focus on improvement, rather than placing blame
This template is from The "4 Ls" Retrospective Technique | Atlassian
Step 1: Set the tone
Before getting started with the retrospective, take some time to set the tone with the team.
Share what inspired this retro, provide any context, and note any action items from the last retrospective that the team should keep in mind.
Step 2: Reflect
Add your thoughts to each section using sticky notes: Loved, Longed for, Loathed, and Learned . Try and keep to one thought per sticky note.
Step 3: Clarify and categorize
Ask questions about any of the sticky notes you’re unsure about.
Group together sticky notes that have similar themes.
Step 4: Vote
Use stamps and select 3 themes in each section that you most want the team to address.
Step 5: Discuss
Talk through the top voted themes or any others anyone wants to call out. Add anything that needs to be noted or accomplished after the discussion as an action item.
