Blogger Day retro invites your team to reflect like content creators—proposing fresh ideas, trimming inefficiencies, and spotlighting best practices that make your work shine.
When to use this template
Use this format when your team needs a creative, engaging way to review workflows, spark innovation, and eliminate outdated habits.
How to facilitate
Frame the session by comparing your team's work to blogging—remind everyone the goal is to share, edit, and publish your team's best practices.
Invite everyone to add ideas to each column: brainstorm new initiatives, suggest what to cut, and celebrate successes worth keeping.
Allow teammates to silently review and comment on posts in each category to deepen discussion.
Facilitate a group conversation around each column, starting with fresh ideas, then editing out clutter, and finishing with headliners to continue.
Prioritize action items by voting or consensus, especially for which new ideas to pilot and which clutter to remove.
Summarize next steps and assign clear ownership for implementing agreed changes.
Pro Tips
Encourage bold experimentation—sometimes the simplest idea leads to breakthrough improvements.
Reference specific stories or examples to make the discussion concrete and actionable.
Limit group size in discussions to ensure every voice is heard before regrouping.
If energy is low, use a timed rapid-fire round for new ideas to boost momentum.
