Pizza Night Retrospective

Gather 'round the table—it's pizza night! This retrospective format brings the casual, satisfying vibe of sharing pizza with friends to your team's reflection process. Whether you prefer thin crust or deep dish, pepperoni or veggie supreme, this format helps everyone get a slice of the conversation and leave feeling satisfied.

Warm up

Use our IceBreaker feature to play some upbeat Italian music or feel-good party tunes. Remember: the best pizzas—and retrospectives—are made fresh and enjoyed together!

🍕 Perfect Slice

What came out of the oven absolutely delicious

What were the standout successes this sprint? Share the moments when everything came together perfectly—the features that shipped smoothly, the collaborations that worked beautifully, or the solutions that satisfied everyone. What would you order again?

🔥 Burnt Crust

What got overcooked or went wrong

What didn't turn out as planned? Identify the areas where we left things in the oven too long, where quality suffered, or where we missed the mark. These are the mistakes we want to learn from so next time comes out golden.

🧀 Extra Toppings

Ideas to make the next sprint even better

What enhancements or additions would make our work even more delicious? Suggest improvements, new tools, better processes, or creative approaches that could take us from good to great. What special ingredients are we missing?

⏱️ Delivery Time

How well did we manage speed and quality

Did we deliver on time? Too fast and quality suffers; too slow and it arrives cold. Discuss our pacing, time management, and the balance between speed and excellence. How can we optimize our delivery without compromising the quality?
