Agile ceremonies and team rituals
The meetings a team runs to look back, plan, stay in step and check in on each other, with a guide to running each one and a free way to start it. Most need no account.
The core ceremonies
Retrospective
Look back on the sprint, vote on what matters, and leave with actions that have an owner and a date.
Planning poker
Estimate work with private votes and a shared reveal, so the discussion starts at the disagreement.
Daily standup
Replace the status meeting with a short prompt each person answers when it suits them.
Team health check
A short anonymous survey, repeated every few weeks, that shows where the team is heading.
Everything around them
Smaller formats for the moments between ceremonies: a quick decision, a team game, a longer survey, or a picture drawn together.
Poll
One question answered by everyone at once: choice, rating, word cloud or open text.
Quiz
A live game with timers, points for speed and a leaderboard, played from phones.
Form
Several questions answered in each person's own time, read one by one or as charts.
Whiteboard
An open canvas of sticky notes, shapes and arrows for mapping, sketching and prioritising.
Sprint planning, review and refinement
These are conversations more than tools, but the same pieces help. Size the items you refine with planning poker, map a release or a review on a whiteboard, and close the loop in the retrospective that follows. For picking a retro format, see the retro templates.
