Workflow
How retrospectives work in Excel
When findings, actions, and follow-up stay in one flow, it becomes much easier to keep the lesson visible.
Step 1
Align the review date
First confirm when the review will happen and what the team needs to prepare.
Step 2
Gather findings
Collect facts so each owner can see what happened.
Step 3
Decide the actions
Bundle the necessary follow-up into one flow.
Step 4
Keep the history
Save the lessons so they can support the next review and reporting.
Screen Mapping
Which columns become which screens
When you carry the retrospective data model directly into screen design, the learning flow becomes much easier to understand.
