Frequently Asked Questions
What is KPT?
KPT is a retrospective framework originated in Japan, focusing on Keep (things to continue), Problem (issues), and Try (things to try). It's simple and easy to adopt, used by many agile teams.
Which framework should I choose?
KPT is recommended if you're new to retrospectives. If it becomes routine, try Start/Stop/Continue or 4Ls. Mad/Sad/Glad is effective when focusing on emotional aspects, and Sailboat works well when emphasizing team goals.
What is voting used for?
Voting helps identify important items for team discussion. With limited time, prioritizing items with more votes enables efficient retrospectives.
Can anyone edit card contents?
Yes, any added card can be edited or deleted by anyone. This tool assumes team trust and should be used for constructive retrospectives.
Is the data saved?
Data is only kept during your browser session. It resets on page reload, so please save in Markdown format using the 'Export' feature after the retrospective.
