This is an asynchronous retrospective for the <%= release %> release, following the process described [in the handbook][handbook]. This issue is private (confidential) to the <%= team.name %> group, plus anyone else who worked with the group during <%= release %>, to ensure everyone feels comfortable sharing freely. On <%= due_date %>, in preparation for the [R&D-wide <%= release %> Retrospective][retrospective], the issue will be opened up to the public, as long as everyone is comfortable with this. You're free to redact any comments that contain information that you'd like to stay private before that date. ### Instructions Please look back at your experiences working on this release, ask yourself and honestly describe your thoughts and feelings below. - 🌟 What praise do you have for the group? - 👍 What went well? - 👎 What did not go well? - 📈 What can we improve or try differently? - 🎯 Why did each missed deliverable not make it? ### Questions to consider for EM and PM - What was our Say/Do ratio and why? - Was our expected team velocity accurate? If not, why? - Was there anything that reduced capacity more than expected? ### Psychological Safety If there is anything you are not comfortable sharing here, please message your manager directly. Note, however, that 'Emotions are not only allowed in retrospectives, they should be encouraged', so we'd love to hear from you here if possible.
