Future-Back Thinking Retrospective

When teams feel they are not innovating or improving, you can design a Retrospective to reignite creativity. Techniques like “Future-Back Thinking” can help the team envision a future state of success and work backward to identify actions that can lead to innovation.

• Objective: To reignite creativity and innovation within the team.
• Activity: Use “Future-Back Thinking” to envision breakthrough achievements for the team. Work backward to identify innovative steps and experiments the team can undertake in the next sprint to move closer to that vision.
