Gyshido - Get Your Shit Done

Gyshido - Get Your Shit Done is a retrospective format inspired by the Gyshido movement: the art and way of simply getting things done by focusing on the essential.

This format invites participants to look at their sprint through a pragmatic lens, focusing on what actually helps them move forward and what holds them back:

• Helped 🤝: Who helped you during the sprint? Recognize the people, tools, or practices that made a positive difference.
• Disturbing 😤: What disturbed you? Interruptions, unclear processes, or external factors that disrupted your focus.
• Useless 🗑️: What activities felt useless? Meetings, processes, or tasks that consumed time without delivering value.
• Annoying 😠: What was annoying to perform? Repetitive tasks, cumbersome processes, or friction points in your daily work.

The strength of Gyshido lies in its direct and no-nonsense approach. Rather than focusing on abstract concepts, it encourages team members to be honest and specific about what helps and what hinders their ability to get things done.

The session concludes with the team defining concrete actions to eliminate waste, reduce friction, and amplify what truly helps them deliver value.
