What style of retrospective have you found to be the most successful and/or useful?

Jason H_wqiwts

There are many different styles of retrospective from the classics of Glad/Sad/Mad and the 4L's* through to some really wacky ideas like The Oscars.

What are your go-to favourites?

Do you stick with one style or do you switch depending on the outcome you're looking for?

I usually switch it up depending on the outcome or how the sprint went.

"The Oscars" was an attempt at a fresh theme for regular retro topics. It consisted of five columns:

Studio backing - what should we start doing (because the studio has loads of cash)
Alan Smithee - what should we stop doing (when a director quits a movie, the director credits go to Alan Smithee)
Director's cut - what should we do more of (directors want to spend more)
Producer's cut - what should we do less of (producers want to spend less)
And the Oscar goes to - kudos

Love this answer - do you find particular formats useful when a sprint went especially well?

Dave LIAO

@Jason H - I switch retrospective formats regularly to keep things fun and interesting for my teams (and me!). If I'm with a team for a long time, this is especially important.

It may sound flaky, but I have found the team to be way more vocal so I would then aim for something that would engage them. 1-2-3-All worked for them.

Dave LIAO

Doesn't sound flaky at all!

I agree with @Dave LIAO It is important to change it up to keep teams engaged and retrospect's a productive activity.
