How RetroWave works

A fun, engaging, and comprehensive team assessment

A guided, question-by-question approach. RetroWave guides you and the participants through a series of thought-provoking questions that cover a broad range of topics.

A voting mechanism to eliminate groupthink. Participants vote on whether they think the team is doing good, bad, or just ok within the focus area. Votes are only seen once the host decides to reveal them for everyone.

Discuss and capture action items and notes. The host can capture action items and notes both during and after the retro. Use these as a basis to create a targeted improvement plan.

The Team Health Check Model

The Team Health Check model is a type of retrospective that gauges the overall performance, health, and happiness of any team. This model guides teams through a wide range of focus areas related to team performance and happiness and asks participants to reflect on whether the team is strong or weak in that area. The magic of this model is the ability to get a holistic view of a team and to unlock learnings that will never come up in traditional sprint retrospectives. It's a powerful tool for fostering a culture of continuous growth.

If a sprint retrospective is about what went right or wrong in the last sprint, the Team Health Check model is about what's going right or wrong long-term. It highlights areas of strength and weakness and empowers leaders to target their attention on specific areas in order to boost team performance, happiness, and satisfaction.
