Acerca de esta plantilla

The Beauty and the Beast Ballroom Retro invites teams to reflect in a whimsical setting, focusing on new actions, eliminating blockers, and celebrating ongoing strengths. It’s designed to help teams embrace positive change and let go of limiting habits.

Cuándo usar esta plantilla

Use this retrospective when your team needs a fresh perspective on recurring challenges or wants to bring creativity and optimism into the review process.

Cómo facilitar
1

Set the enchanted scene by welcoming the team to your virtual ballroom and briefly explain the theme and column purpose.

2

Invite each participant to take a few moments to add thoughts to all three columns: Plant New Roses for new ideas, Break the Spell for blockers or negative patterns, and Keep the Magic Alive for practices worth celebrating.

3

Allow everyone time to read and react to the posted notes, encouraging them to ask clarifying questions or add supporting comments.

4

Facilitate a group discussion, sorting notes into themes or priorities within each column. Encourage deeper exploration for any repeated blockers or surprising suggestions.

5

Ask the team to collaboratively select a manageable number of action items from the Plant New Roses and Break the Spell columns to address in the next sprint.

6

Wrap up by revisiting the Keep the Magic Alive column, expressing gratitude for existing strengths, and inviting everyone to share a final positive takeaway from the retrospective.

Consejos profesionales

Lean into the playful theme to boost engagement—don’t be afraid to use fun language or invite teammates to bring virtual backgrounds fitting the ballroom vibe.

Encourage quieter members by letting them contribute anonymously at first, then inviting them into discussion once notes are posted.

Link real improvement areas to the theme (transforming the ‘castle’) to help the team connect emotionally to changes.

Timebox the discussion for each column to ensure balanced focus and avoid getting stuck on negatives.

Preguntas frecuentes
What if the team struggles to engage with the fairy tale theme?

Briefly acknowledge the theme is for fun, but focus on the core questions. Remind everyone that playful framing often leads to more creative insights.

How do we avoid repeating the same blockers in Break the Spell?

Identify recurring items, discuss underlying causes, and pick a specific, achievable experiment to address one at a time rather than taking on too much.

What’s the best way to select action items for next sprint?

Let the team vote or come to a consensus on which items are most impactful and feasible given current capacity.
