Space trip Retrospective template for Miro, FigJam and Mural

All Product teams love retrospectives! They help us to gather and thoughtfully analyze our work during a recent sprint. During retro, we can candidly discuss what went well, what didn't, and where we see the potential for better processes or outcomes in future work together. 

The Space trip Retrospective template is a fun and inspirational template to increase team engagement during the retro.

On the template, you can find the following: 

#1 The acceleration Portal represents everything that helps us to achieve the sprint goal, pushing the team's spaceship to move even faster.

# The Sun represents everything that makes us feel good and happy during work. Therefore, a retrospective is a perfect time for a team achievements celebration, and this is a highly appreciated topic to bring up and encourage sharing kudos with your team members.

#3 The lack of fuel on the Rocketship represents everything that is slowing us down and holding us back on the journey toward the sprint goal.

#4 The Asteroids represent potential risks ahead that we see will endanger future sprint work.

How to use the Space Trip Retrospective

1. Set the stage - start the Retrospective by introducing the team to the space travel metaphor.
2. Reflect and write individually - Give each team member 15-20 minutes to write down stickies on the board in the different areas of the space trip canvas.
3. Present and discuss in pairs - Ask each participant to voice over their thoughts for each section. Allocate 1-2 minutes for each participant and encourage people to speak up. 
4. Summarize - Give a summary of the discussion and an opportunity to ask questions, if any.
5. Group stickies - Invite the team to group stickies with the same topics.
6. Prioritize stickies - The team votes on the topic(s) to focus on and prioritize them. 
7. Plan Actions - The team agrees on improvement action based on the highest voted topic(s) and assigns responsible people for each area.
8. Follow up  - After the Retrospective, share a recap and action items to keep your team members accountable and ensure the tasks are completed ahead of your next Retrospective.

Buckle up and do the best team retro to remember!
