How to facilitate

Invite each team member to add reflections to all four columns: Starry Triumphs, Cosmic Discoveries, Black Holes, and Dream Nebulas, ensuring everyone has time to consider each perspective.

Close the session with a quick gratitude round or team check-out to reinforce positivity.

Pro Tips

Allow extra time for 'Dream Nebulas' to unlock bold ideas or team wishes often overlooked in standard retros.

Focus on linking insights from 'Black Holes' and 'Dream Nebulas' to tangible actions for future improvement.

Give each team member a moment to voice their perspective, especially if some tend to be quiet.

FAQ
What if the team struggles with the creative theme?

Briefly explain the space metaphors or offer examples. Remind the group that fun is the goal—there are no wrong answers.

How do we turn 'Dream Nebulas' wishes into real improvements?

Select one or two aspirations to experiment with in the next sprint. Prioritize those aligned with team or business goals.
