What is the Plus / Delta retrospective?
Plus / Delta is the shortest retrospective format: Plus for what worked, Delta for what to change. The Greek delta signals change rather than failure, which keeps the tone constructive. With only two columns it fits at the end of a workshop, a meeting or an incident review in ten minutes.
The columns
- Plus
- Delta
When to use it
Use it for quick retros after events, workshops, trainings or big meetings, as a lightweight weekly check, or when the team is too tired for a full retro but should still capture lessons.

Frequently asked questions
Why delta and not minus?
Delta means change. A Delta card describes what to do differently next time, not what was bad, which keeps feedback forward-looking.
Can I use it for workshop feedback?
Yes. Participants join from the link without an account, and cards stay anonymous by default.
