What are you bringing into this retro?
Each person completes: “I’m bringing ___ into this retro.” No fixing yet—just naming.
How to use it
Facilitator models first with something real but professional.
If someone names frustration, thank them; do not debate in the opener.
Bridge: “We named our baggage—next we’ll structure feedback so it lands constructively.”
Retrospective boards that pair well
Named hopes and worries map cleanly to columns designed for emotional honesty.
