Acerca de esta plantilla

The Science Lab retrospective enables teams to explore their successful processes, identify areas needing improvement, and experiment with new workflows.

Cuándo usar esta plantilla

Use this format when the team needs a structured yet creative opportunity to analyze their methods and innovate new approaches.

Cómo facilitar
1

Start by welcoming the team and explaining the Science Lab theme where you will collectively analyze successes, mishaps, and actionable continuations.

2

Introduce each column: explain that 'Eureka Moments' is to celebrate successes, 'Lab Mishaps' is to discuss lessons from failed attempts, and 'Proven Formulae' is about sustaining effective practices.

3

Allow team members time to individually reflect and jot down their thoughts for each category on sticky notes or virtual cards.

4

Facilitate a walkthrough of the submitted items for each column, encouraging discussion to thoroughly explore the underlying themes and emotions.

5

Collaboratively decide on prioritizing actionable items or ideas to test in the upcoming sprint, ensuring alignment on responsibility and tracking.

Consejos profesionales

Encourage participants to focus on constructive insights rather than simply labeling successes or failures.

Use metaphoric science terminology to make the activity engaging, such as 'testing hypotheses' or 'analyzing compounds.'

Revisit agreed actions at the start of the next retrospective to assess their progress and outcomes.

Preguntas frecuentes
How can we handle sensitive topics brought up during the retrospective?

Set a foundation of mutual respect and reinforce a no-blame atmosphere to foster open and constructive dialogue.

What if the team struggles to identify 'Eureka Moments'?

Prompt by asking about successful small wins or breakthroughs; even minor achievements count towards improvement.
