Running your first retrospective session

- Make sure to invite your team mates to the session. You can copy the link and share it to them.
- Click on "Start session" to begin. Remember that only moderators have this enabled.
Step 1: Think
- In the Think step all participants share their ideas on what went well or wrong during the project or sprint. You can add ideas by typing them and hitting enter.
- You can delete your ideas by clicking on the "x" icon on each idea.
- Other participants' ideas will appear "blurred" in this step to avoid groupthink. However, they will all be displayed in the next step.
- Once everyone is done sharing ideas, the moderator can click on the next step "Discuss"
Step 2: Discuss
- In this step the objective is to review each idea, discuss it, and create action items together to improve.
- You can add action items by typing them and hitting enter. You can delete them by clicking on the "x" icon.
- The moderator can click on the arrows to advance through all the topics that need to be discussed.
- Once the team has created all necessary action items, the moderator can click "Finish" to end the session
Retrospective summary
- The summary lets everyone see all the ideas and action items created for each one. The point is to be able to come back and see what actions need to be executed.
- If you return to the Dashboard, you will now see the session in the Completed section and see how many action items were created. You can revisit it anytime!
