Starfish Retrospective Template
The Starfish Retrospective is an agile method that helps teams reflect on their collaboration in a structured way and continuously improve it. With Collaboard's interactive template, this can be done visually, collaboratively, and efficiently – ideal for hybrid and digital teams.
About the template for Starfish Retrospective
The template is based on five central questions, each assigned to one of the starfish's "arms" :
- Start Doing : What should we start doing ?
- Stop Doing : What should we stop doing ?
- Keep Doing : What should we continue to do ?
- More Of : What should we do more of ?
- Less Of : What should we do less of ?
This structure enables the team to identify both positive and areas for improvement in the collaboration and to derive concrete measures.
