Visual Retro Templates
Intent
- Make retrospective insights digestible for visual learners without slideware.
- Standardize text-based templates for PRs, issues, or shared docs.
Inputs
- Retro categories (Went Well, Risks, Next Bets, Metrics).
- Key quantitative results and qualitative highlights.
- Owners + follow-up items.
Workflow
- Pick template
- Grid: `` +------------+------------------+ | Went Well | Needs Attention | +------------+------------------+ | ... | ... | ` - Timeline w/ milestones. - Heatmap: use [] intensity markers ([++], [+], [~], [!]`).
- Populate data
- Keep bullet lines short; include metric deltas (+12% DAU). - Tag owners (@name) next to action items.
- Embed artifacts
- Link to logs, dashboards, or experiment IDs inline.
- Distribute
- Paste into PR descriptions, GitHub Discussions, or Slack posts. - Optionally store canonical version under .factory/retros/<date>.txt.
- Iterate
- Add “Next Checkpoint” section to set evaluation date.
Verification
- Template fits within 80 characters width; column headers aligned.
- Each action item shows owner + due date.
- Retro artifact linked in change summary or issue comment.
