Additionally, she considers the ability to step back as an indicator of success in enabling the team's self-organization and autonomy. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Efficient Reflections, The Mad/Sad/Glad With A Twist Annu discusses her preferred retrospective format, conducted through an online shared whiteboard tool. The tool enables efficient tracking of action points and ensures visibility. Annu appreciates the flexibility to vary retrospective content.
