Kaizen (one improvement) Retrospective Template
Kaizen board — one continuous improvement, done properly. Free to run online — live board, anonymous-friendly cards, dot-voting, timers, and action items that follow your team sprint to sprint.
📊 Current state
🎯 Target state
🪜 Steps to get there
One goal per board: the current state, the target state, and the concrete steps between them. It borrows the discipline of lean improvement — measure, target, iterate — for a single change that actually lands.
Best for: Teams pursuing one meaningful improvement rather than ten shallow ones.
How to run it
- Open a board and share the invite link — teammates join free with Google or a one-time email code.
- Add cards to each column (5–10 minutes, timer built in), then dot-vote what matters most.
- Discuss the top votes and commit action items with owners.
- Next retro, the actions come back automatically — done, carry, or drop. That loop is the point.
