Easter Egg Retrospective
Reflect on past performance and set next steps.
Reflect on past performance and identify opportunities for continuous improvement with the Easter Egg retrospective template.
Guidance for use:
Stage 1 - Icebreaker
Get the conversation flowing with a tasty icebreaker where participants share an image of their favourite easter treat or snack with the group!
Stage 2 - Easter Egg Retrospective
Teams will then make their way around the board adding their thoughts and feelings while covering each of the themes listed:
- What were our tastiest Easter eggs?
What were our positives?
What went great?
- Which Easter eggs did you receive?
How did we support each other?
Where did you receive a helping hand?
- Are there eggs we're still looking for?
Was anything missing?
Could anything be done better?
- Give some eggs away!
Give an egg to someone who deserves it!
Who stood out this sprint?
Stage 3 - Dot Vote
Team members use their egg tokens to vote for the most valuable tickets that we're created and will lead to the most constructive steps moving forward.
Stage 4 - Rate the Retro
Once all areas of the board have been covered invite the team to rate the retro by placing a dot/ shape/ post-it on the appropriate rating from 1 (Waste of time) to 5 (Productive and engaging session)

Mad Sad Glad Retrospective
Works best for:
Brainstorming, Ideation
It's tempting to measure a sprint’s success solely by whether goals and timelines were met. But there’s another important success metric: emotions. And Mad Sad Glad is a popular, effective technique for teams to explore and share their emotions after a sprint. That allows you to highlight the positive, underline the concerns, and decide how to move forward as a team. This template makes it easy to conduct a Mad Sad Glad that helps you build trust, improve team morale, and increase engagement.
Feature Canvas Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Product Management
When you’re working on a new feature that solves a problem for your users, it’s easy to dive right in and start looking for solutions. However, it’s important to understand the initial user problem first. Use the Feature Canvas template to do a deep-dive into the user’s problems, the context in which they will use your feature, and the value proposition you will deliver to your users. The template enables you to spend more time exploring the problem to anticipate any potential blind spots before jumping into solutions mode.
Kaizen Report Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Operations, Documentation
What makes a great company great? They know that greatness needs to be fostered and maintained — meaning they never stop working to improve. If you’re one of those companies (or aspire to be), a kaizen report is an ideal tool. It creates a simple visual guide to continuous improvement activities on a team, departmental, and organizational level. Using a kaizen report approach, every employee in an organization audits their own processes and understands what they might have overlooked, making this a powerful tool for increasing accountability at all levels.

KWL Chart Template
Works best for:
Education, Brainstorming, Retrospectives
Sharing and learning new knowledge is the fuel in the tank of any ambitious team or organization. A KWL chart is a graphical organizer that powers the learning process. This easy template lets you design and use a KWL, with three columns: Know, Want to Know, and Learned. Then you and your team will fill in each column by following three steps: Take stock of what you know, document what you want to get out of your session, and finally, record what you’ve learned.
