What is the Remote Work Retro retrospective?
The Remote Work retro focuses on how a distributed team works: what Works, what Hurts, and what to Try. It surfaces issues like time zones, meeting fatigue or missing context that general retros often miss.
The columns
- Works
- Hurts
- Try
When to use it
Use it for remote or hybrid teams, after a change in office policy, or when collaboration feels hard.
Facilitator tip: rotate the meeting time if the team spans time zones, and invite people to write cards before the session starts. Asynchronous writing gives everyone the same chance to contribute, whatever their local time.
How to run it in Peel in 5 steps
