<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Let team members run the retro, SM run it only if no on volunteers
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>To avoid “ditto what he/she said”, everyone writes first, then one person reads what was written

<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Have everyone bring potluck to the next retro
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>When retro is over, only commit to one action. Start talking in next retro with assessment on what was accomplished.
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>People quietly draw pictures of their thought of retro, hand in, then discuss
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Themed retros
<![if !supportLists]>o <![endif]>Halloween “What was the candy this sprint?”, “what were the vampires?”
<![if !supportLists]>o <![endif]>Camping “What were the roses? / Thorns?”
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>On one team, 3 new team members joined. In that retro, they did a “speed dating” for the whole team to get to know each other (ask questions of each other for a set amount of time, then rotate)
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Add some levity at beginning with funny videos.
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Ask what music the team wants for the next retro and play it
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>Alternate neg / pos comments
<![if !supportLists]>· <![endif]>After a fairly dramatic time, one team made a “positive only” retro, and then just played a game. Got the team morale back.
