any suggestions for making this a retro for distributed teams?
Hi July,
I think would be a bit difficult to use it on distributed teams….
One way I can think of is to have every team member print all the cards and take on on each round? that would work.
Try it and let us know 🙂
Manuel.
Can you share more about how the “Who/What/When” cards work? Thank you
Hi Carissa, the Who/What/When cards are for people to take ownership on an action.
While on the game they get points for doing it.
So, when I play that card I can say: Manuel will update the game by next week. Doing this I get points.
The idea is to reward initiative.
Hope it helps!!
I played this game with one of my teams that I just started working with and they really liked it. I like the flexibility with the game and the option to add your own cards. For this team I am working on developing psychological safety and felt they weren’t quite ready for the ‘dollar bills/who, what, when’ cards so I omitted them for now. They thought some of the questions were hard and made them think but overall they had fun with it. This was a nice change from some of the team building games that focus solely on telling the team little known facts about each other.
