Introduction
In the world of teamwork, something new is happening – the Golden Brain Zombie Team Adventure retrospective. Imagine you and your team are like friendly zombies, all working together to reach a golden brain that stands for your shared goal. Welcome to a fun way of looking back on your teamwork, where being like zombies brings a fresh and creative view to your teamwork story.
Facilitating the Zombie Team Adventure Retrospective
- Setting the Stage (The Zombie Drive): Picture your team’s journey as a group of zombies, moving together towards the golden brain. Each team member represents a different part of your team, all working together for a common goal.
- The Golden Brain (Team Goal): At the center of your story is the golden brain, showing your team’s shared goal. Understand how important it is to reach and protect this special brain as your friendly zombie team moves toward it.
- Engine Boosters (Motivators): Think about what helps your team move faster – the things that boost your energy and excitement. These can be good communication, working well together, or finding new and smart solutions. Share stories about what keeps your friendly zombie team moving forward.
- Bumps and Blocks in the Road (Impediments): Look at the challenges that slow your team down, like bumps and blocks in the road. These could be things that get in the way of your daily work. Talk about how to get past these challenges and keep the positive spirit of your friendly zombie team.
- Spotting Dangers (Risks): Think about risks as dangers on the road ahead, like killer robots. These are things that could slow your friendly zombie team down. Talk openly about these dangers and figure out how to avoid them or what to do if you come across them.
