Retrospective Notion Template

About this template

The Retrospective Notion template is designed to facilitate a structured review of team performance, aiming for continuous improvement.

  • Review Section: Sets the stage by listing the date, team name, and participants involved in the retrospective.

  • Retrospective Table: This is the core of the template, where team members contribute what they think should be started, stopped, or continued. For example, "Start doing" could include initiating work assessments earlier, while "Stop doing" might involve avoiding meetings without a clear agenda. "Keep doing" could be something like maintaining daily stand-up meetings.

  • Follow-up Tasks: Lists actionable tasks based on the retrospective's findings, ensuring that the team moves forward with the insights gained.

This template is a useful tool for teams to reflect on their work, identify areas for improvement, and create actionable plans for better performance.
