This page is obsolete. It is being retained for archival purposes. It may document extensions or features that are obsolete and/or no longer supported. Do not rely on any information on this page. |
This is a format for a group retrospective. It is based on the "2-5-1" system, but has been adapted somewhat.
Note that the meanings typically associated with different fingers vary from culture to culture. The meanings listed here will be intuitive for some, but non-intuitive, or even counter-intuitive for others. Also, some people might find the reference to the "middle finger" gesture to be distasteful. Keep those potential issues in mind if you are considering experimenting with this.
Each person is requested to come up with 1 topic for each finger on their hand, based on these meanings:
Thumb edit
"Thumbs-up". Something that went well.
Index finger edit
The ONE thing that people should realize from this retrospective.
Middle finger edit
Something that did not go well.
Ring finger edit
Something about relationships. Between team members; with management; between teams, etc.
Pinky finger edit
Something (good or bad) that could easily be overlooked.
