Benefits

Retrospectives give teams a structured way to reflect on their work and spot areas for improvement. With Geekbot, you can run engaging, effective retros that encourage collaboration, innovation, and better results. And with the customizable settings, you can cover your whole team's needs, all in Slack and MS Teams.

How to add this template

It's a simple 3-step process:

1. Select the Retrospective from the templates page

2. Include your teammates from the Participants block

3. Select a broadcast channel to post reports

✨ Auto-save drafts

As you configure your standup, Geekbot periodically saves your changes. You'll see an indicator displaying the most recent save timestamp, so you'll know exactly when your changes were secured.

This way, you can take your time perfecting the standup without worrying about losing any adjustments and avoiding sending notifications to your team.

πŸ™ Publish

When everything looks good, simply publish your standup. This action will alert your team to the new standup and let them know the timing of their first prompt.


Best practices

  1. Set the frequency according to your team's sprint schedule

  2. Adjust the questions to fit your team's needs (and don't be scared to use their language) πŸ˜‰

  3. Encourage your team to engage in conversation by commenting on reports
