Yakiniku Retrospective Is Born! Unleash Playfulness to Boost Team Learning
summary
A playful retrospective format inspired by an A-CSM exercise turns a sprint into a large yakiniku (grilled-meat) image and has participants write sprint events as meat metaphors on sticky notes, then share them. The session was run live over Discord with about 34 contributions, and the format (just three rules) is claimed to boost mutual understanding, psychological safety, emotion-driven motivation, and faster experiential learning; it’s suggested as an occasional experiment rather than a weekly ritual.
