A travel‑themed sprint retrospective that maps successes, stops turbulence, and launches new initiatives for the next sprint.
When to use this template
Ideal after a sprint with mixed outcomes when the team wants a fresh, engaging way to celebrate wins, cut friction, and brainstorm next steps.
How to facilitate
Begin by reminding the team of the travel metaphor and the three columns: New Horizons, Turbulence Ahead, Keep Exploring.
Ask participants to silently write down observations for each column on virtual sticky notes, focusing on the last sprint.
Collect the notes, group similar ideas together, and discuss each group to ensure shared understanding.
Vote on the most important items in each column using dot voting or emoji reactions.
Translate the top‑voted items into concrete action items, assign owners, and agree on next‑step timelines before closing.
Pro Tips
Limit each participant to three items per column to keep the board manageable and encourage concise thinking.
Use travel icons or a simple map background on the virtual board to reinforce the theme and boost engagement.
Timebox each discussion segment (e.g., 5 minutes per column) to maintain momentum and prevent over‑analysis.
FAQ
What if the team runs out of ideas for a column?
Prompt with specific examples from the sprint, use silent brainstorming for a minute, or ask each person to share at least one observation to seed the discussion.
How can we prevent dominant voices from steering the conversation?
Encourage equal participation by using round‑robin sharing or assigning a facilitator to monitor speaking time and invite quieter members to contribute.
Can this format be used for longer periods than a sprint?
Yes, the Dream Voyage template works for any iteration length; just adjust the timebox and focus on the relevant timeframe when gathering observations.
