When to use this template
Use when the team needs a low‑pressure, creative space to reflect and recharge after a busy sprint.
How to facilitate
Play a soft lofi playlist in the background and invite everyone to take a brief breathing pause to set the mood.
Ask participants to write brief notes under each column: Keep the Vibes, Add New Tracks, Less Noise, More Chill.
Group similar notes together and discuss each column, starting with Keep the Vibes to celebrate positives.
For Add New Tracks, brainstorm fresh ideas and vote on the top two to try in the next sprint.
In Less Noise, identify biggest distractions and agree on concrete actions to mute them.
Conclude with More Chill by selecting one mindfulness or relaxation practice the team will adopt and capture all actions on the sprint board.
Pro Tips
Keep the playlist at a low volume so it supports focus without becoming a distraction.
Use anonymous sticky notes or a digital board to let quieter members share thoughts comfortably.
Set a timer for each column discussion to maintain momentum.
End with a short guided breathing exercise to reinforce the chill vibe.
FAQ
What if the music feels distracting for some team members?
Allow participants to lower the volume or mute the audio on their end; the focus is on the relaxed atmosphere, not the sound itself.
How can we run this retro with a larger team?
Split the group into smaller breakout rooms, each handling a subset of columns, then reconvene to share the top insights.
Is this format suitable for a short sprint?
Yes, simply trim the discussion time per column and keep the playlist short to fit within a tighter schedule.
