What is a Sailboat Retrospective?
A Sailboat Retrospective, or Sailboat Retro, is a visual technique used by teams to reflect on their journey. Imagine a sailboat: the wind propels it forward (positive forces), anchors hold it back (challenges), and there are potential rocks or hazards (risks). This method helps teams identify what’s helping, what’s hindering, and what might block their progress.
Sailboat Retro Best Practices
Here are some best practices for sailboat retrospectives:
- Engage Everyone: Ensure all team members participate and share their perspectives.
- Be Specific: General feedback is less actionable. Dive into specifics.
Focus on Action: Identify clear steps to harness winds, lift anchors, and avoid rocks. - Safe Environment: Foster an atmosphere where everyone feels safe to speak candidly.
- Regularly Conduct: Make Sailboat Retros a routine part of your team’s process.
