A high‑energy, music‑themed retrospective that identifies new practices, stops disruptive actions, and reinforces what’s working.
When to use this template
Use when the team needs a fun, rhythm‑driven way to surface improvements and celebrate successes after a sprint.
How to facilitate
Gather the team, play a short K‑pop intro and explain the three columns: Ignite the Beat, Silence the Static, Keep the Rhythm
Give each participant a few minutes to write sticky notes for each column, focusing on concrete examples from the last sprint
Collect the notes, group similar ideas, and place them under the appropriate column on the shared board
Facilitate a quick discussion for each column, prioritizing the top three items the team will commit to act on
Close the session by voting on a fun chart‑topping action, assign owners, and play a celebratory track
Pro Tips
Encourage phrasing items as verbs to keep the action focus clear
Use a timer for each brainstorming round to maintain the rhythm and prevent drift
Create a visual beat indicator that moves as items are discussed to keep energy high
FAQ
What if the team runs out of ideas for a column?
Prompt with specific cues such as ‘What new habit could boost our velocity?’ or run a quick silent poll to surface hidden thoughts
How do we keep the fun theme from becoming a distraction?
Set clear time limits for each phase and remind participants that the music is a catalyst, not the focus, ensuring decisions stay outcome‑oriented
Can we adapt this for a larger group?
Split the larger team into smaller pods for brainstorming, then bring each pod’s top items to the main board for a combined discussion
