What is the Pit Stop retrospective?
The Pit Stop retro borrows from motor racing: Engine is what drives performance, Brakes are what slows the team down, Fuel is what keeps it going, and Road ahead is what is coming. Like a real pit stop, it is meant to be quick and focused.
The columns
- Engine
- Brakes
- Fuel
- Road ahead
When to use it
Use it mid-sprint or mid-project as a fast tune-up, or when the team likes racing metaphors.
Facilitator tip: like a real pit crew, limit the stop. Set Peel's timer to fifteen minutes, fix one thing, and leave the rest for the next full retro. The constraint keeps the energy up and stops the session from turning into a long complaint list.
