Let's go skiing!
Take the team on a trip to the slopes for a retrospective. In this original format created especially for Umbreon, we start with an ice breaker and then invite participants to reflect on what went well, less well, and upcoming obstacles. Finally, participants will work on actions to implement for improvement.
Use this templateLet's Go Skiing! is an original retrospective format created especially for Umbreon, taking the team on a trip to the slopes for a fun and immersive experience.
The session begins with an ice breaker to warm up the atmosphere, then invites participants to reflect on the sprint through ski resort-themed columns:
- The Bronze Cocktail 🍹: What went well? The positive moments and successes of the sprint, like enjoying a warm drink after a great run.
- The Piou-Piou Club ⛷️: What needs improvement? Like beginners on the bunny slopes, what areas need more practice and support?
- The Black Slope 🏔️: What went poorly? The difficult moments and steep challenges that tested the team.
- The Storm 🌨️: What obstacles are ahead? Upcoming risks, uncertainties, or challenges on the horizon.
Finally, the team earns their Gold Star ⭐ by defining concrete actions to implement for the next sprint.
This format is perfect for teams looking for a seasonal or themed retrospective, particularly during winter. The skiing metaphor makes it easy to discuss difficulties (black slopes) and upcoming risks (storms) in a lighthearted way, while also celebrating what went well (bronze cocktails). The ice breaker at the beginning helps set a relaxed and open atmosphere for honest discussion.
