Ten formats, local vote counts and an action tracker that keeps reflection moving.

When to use
- Retrospectives repeat the same issues.
- Teams need different ways to reflect and prioritise action.
What you get
- Ten retrospective formats with facilitation tips and local voting.
- An action log with owners, review dates and follow-through prompts.
How to use Retrospective Facilitator
Quick start
- 1Pick a format, or randomise to avoid fatigue.
- 2Gather input, then vote.
- 3Leave with at most three actions, each with an owner and a review date.
What good looks like
Actions reopen at the next retro, quieter voices appear in the input, and the same complaint does not return unchanged for a third time.
Common mistakes
- The same three questions every fortnight.
- No action log.
- Voting without time-boxed owners.
Monday action: Schedule the next retro with a named format and an open action log from the last one.
