How to Properly Run a Retrospective MeetingRunning a regular team retrospective is a must if you want your team to improve and grow.You might be asking "what the heck is a retrospective meeting?"We got you.A team retrospective, or ‘retro’ for short, is a meeting typically held at the end of a project or a season, aimed at identifying what worked well, what not so well, and uncovering problem areas that the whole team can learn from and fix.When it comes to running an effective and efficient retro meeting, follow these tips: Make retrospectives a tradition: Include retrospectives in your regular team agenda, with a frequency that makes the most sense for you and your team. Involve everyone actively from the start: It’s easy for anyone to “hide” behind a turned-off camera or a muted microphone. Don’t let your team fall into a passive state — activate them from the very beginning. An interactive poll is a great place to start. Make decisions and agree on the next steps: Make sure the ideas you’ve discussed throughout the meeting are turned into actionable next steps. This is especially important for ‘stop’ and ‘start’ parts. Celebrate people and their achievements: Acknowledging people’s hard work is a must. Consider implementing a morale booster during your next ‘retro’. Ask the team - “who would you like to thank/praise and why?” Leave nothing to chance: Think of all interactions in advance. We really like that Slido incorporates directly with our Google slides. It’s super easy to add polls, surveys, and Q&As. Big win.See four more tips with specific examples here.
