Retrospectives offer a structured reflection on projects, helping product analysts to identify what worked, what didn’t, and how processes can be improved for future projects. Utilizing a Retrospective template can streamline these evaluations, ensuring consistent, thorough, and focused analysis, thus aiding in the development of actionable insights for team and project enhancements. Before beginning to craft your own Retrospective templates, it might be helpful to explore the ones outlined below to simplify and enrich the process.

5. Agile Retrospective Template
Identify how to improve teamwork by reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and why. Run a Retrospective with your team every couple of weeks or at the end of a project milestone and track the session using this template
6. Software Development Retrospective
The best template to run a retrospective in notion. It leverages formulas to show only enough information about how many people agree with or want to discuss a subject.
This board has two steps: 1) In the first one, you can add cards and vote without being influenced by other people's votes. 2) In the second step, you can see a summary of how many people voted to agree or discuss without seeing who it was. This helps remove bias when discussing a card.
You can always open the card and see who voted, but you can choose not to. Anonymity is not the goal of this board.

10. Retrospectives
Retrospectives are critical in college, whether you're facing disappointments in academics or career, falling-outs or breakups, the end of a long semester/job, or particularly tumultuous eras of life. In this extremely simple template, retrospectives ("retros") are organized by year, each with its own page; each page provides a space in which to dig into how and why your significant life events have shaped you.
Each page is also organized with #headers so you can use the "Table of contents" feature (/ + table of contents) to get a bird’s eye view of each page. Additionally, looking at your Retros page is always a reminder that if you made it through those days, you can make it through these :)
