Festival Retrospective
The festival themed retrospective has been designed using the metaphors and common areas of a festival for teams to share ideas and key themes
Trusted by 65M+ users and leading companies
The retrospective is broken up into four main areas:
The Main Stage - highlights of the sprint/iteration; things that went well and that the team enjoyed
Fortune Teller - things we wish we knew at the start
First Aid Tent - pain points; things that perhaps didn't go as well as we'd have hoped
Actions - how can we make the next sprint/iteration better?
Use the blank post-it templates available and some of the example post-its as a starter and work your way around the board from Main Stage, to Fortune Teller, to the First Aid Tent, where the pain points identified by the team help to drive conversation and insight into the final Actions section.
Enjoy!

PI planning stands for “program increment planning.” Part of a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), PI Planning helps teams strategize toward a shared vision. In a typical PI planning session, teams get together to review a program backlog, align cross-functionally, and decide on the next steps. Many teams carry out a PI planning event every 8 to 12 weeks, but you can customize your planning schedule to fit your needs. Use PI planning to break down features, identify risks, find dependencies, and decide which stories you’re going to develop.
