Keep · Problem · Try Retrospective Template
Keep · Problem · Try — the lightweight experiment loop. Free to run online — live board, anonymous-friendly cards, dot-voting, timers, and action items that follow your team sprint to sprint.
✅ Keep (worked well)
⚠️ Problem (didn't work)
🧪 Try (experiments)
Born in Japanese lean practice: keep what works, name problems plainly, and try one experiment next sprint. The 'Try' column reframes improvements as experiments, which makes teams braver about proposing them.
Best for: Teams that want a 20-minute retro with exactly one improvement per sprint.
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.
