WARP Remote Retrospective
A plan for a remote retrospective using the WARP (wishes, appreciation, risks, puzzles) format and Google Jamboard.
Objectives
- Reflect on the end of a period of work with your virtual team
- Create action points for the future based on the WARP framework - Wishes, Appreciations, Risks, and Puzzles
- Detail steps to be taken, work to be completed, and ownership of future actions that emerge from the retrospective
Instructions
When should this session be delivered?
The WARP remote retrospective session should be delivered at the end of a project, initiative, or period of work such as the end of a sprint. So long as you are clear with your team about the period of time/work you are focusing on, your retrospective can be both exhaustive and succinct.
Who can facilitate it?
While any facilitator or leader can lead the remote retrospective effectively using the instructions and notes in the template, being familiar with agile retrospective concepts such as the retrospective prime directive can help ensure the success of this workshop.
Acknowledgments
