A team board. Nothing readable until everybody has written.

The board above is a sample. All of its content is invented; the columns are those of the sprint retrospective template, and the colours, the concealment and the shared state are the real ones.

Your columns, your questions.

Start from one of five templates, or write your own: two to eight columns, each with its question.

Decisions that outlast the meeting.

An action taken is shown at the next retro, and until it is done.
