All-Purpose
Balanced formats built for every regular sprint retro.
STRENGTHS
RISKS
LEARNINGS
Strengths, Risks, Learnings Retrospective
A balanced sprint review that looks backward and forward at once — Retromik's signature format.
View templateSTART
STOP
CONTINUE
Start, Stop, Continue Retrospective
The most actionable retro format — every column maps directly to a behaviour change.
View templateDROP
ADD
KEEP
IMPROVE
DAKI Retrospective (Drop, Add, Keep, Improve)
Four dials instead of three — the only format that separates a brand-new experiment from tuning what already exists.
View templateMORE OF
LESS OF
KEEP
Starfish Retrospective
Calibrate instead of overhaul — dial behaviours up and down rather than starting from zero.
View templateGOALS
FOULS
MVP MOVES
Match Day Retrospective
A football-flavored retro for teams who'd rather talk goals and fouls than strengths and risks — same substance, more fun to say out loud.
View templatePLUS
DELTA
Plus / Delta Retrospective
The fastest retro there is: two columns, five minutes — what worked, and what we'll change.
View templateASSIST
TURNOVER
REBOUND
Basketball Retrospective
A team-sport metaphor built around a possession, not a scoreboard: who set someone up, where the team lost control, and how it recovered.
View templateTeam Health
Surface how the team actually feels, safely.
MAD
SAD
GLAD
Mad, Sad, Glad Retrospective
An emotional check-in that surfaces how the team actually feels — before it becomes attrition.
View templateWIND
ANCHORS
ROCKS
Sailboat Retrospective
A visual metaphor the whole team gets instantly: what propels us, what drags us, what could sink us.
View templateTHE ELEPHANT
EARLY CRACKS
WINS
Elephant in the Room Retrospective
Name the hard thing first — the one everyone sees but no one says.
View templateENGINE
PARACHUTE
CLIFF
Speed Car Retrospective
A racing metaphor everyone gets instantly: what's flooring the accelerator, what's dragging like a parachute, and the cliff up ahead.
View templateDig Deeper
Root-cause and learning-focused formats for periodic deep dives.
LIKED
LACKED
LEARNED
4Ls Retrospective (Liked, Learned, Lacked)
A deep-dive format that uncovers hidden needs and turns every sprint into a learning loop.
View templateMUDA
MURA
MURI
Kaizen Retrospective (Muda, Mura, Muri)
Toyota's lean lens for sprint retros — hunt waste, unevenness, and overload instead of vague complaints.
View templateChange The Rhythm
Structurally different formats for when the usual columns don't fit.
EARLY SPRINT
MID SPRINT
LATE SPRINT
Timeline Retrospective
Sorts by when it happened, not what kind — the only format built to catch narrative arcs other retros flatten into a single pile.
View templateTOPICS
Lean Coffee Retrospective
The only single-column format here — no categories, just an open, priority-ordered agenda the group builds together.
View templateWORTH IT
NOT WORTH IT
CHANGE NEXT TIME
ROTI Retrospective (Return on Time Invested)
The only format here that retros the retro — evaluate the ritual itself instead of the sprint.
View templateChange The Vibe
Playful, story-driven formats for when the team needs a change of pace, not a new process.
THE HERO
THE VILLAIN
THE PLOT TWIST
THE CLIFFHANGER
TV Drama Retrospective
Run the sprint like a season finale: the hero, the villain, the twist nobody saw coming, and the cliffhanger you carry into next season.
View templateACHILLES' HEEL
TROJAN HORSE
SHIELD
Achilles' Heel Retrospective
Two of the oldest stories about hidden weakness, turned into a sprint retro: the vulnerability everyone knows about, and the risk that got in looking like a gift.
