The Easter Retrospective provides a meaningful framework for teams to reflect on themes of renewal, transformation, and hope. Drawing inspiration from the Easter story, this retrospective encourages participants to examine their journey of growth, celebrate victories, acknowledge challenges, and envision new beginnings.

The structure encourages honest dialogue about obstacles overcome, lessons learned, and aspirations for the future. Through this process, teams can develop actionable insights that lead to meaningful improvements and renewed commitment to their shared goals.
