Recurring retrospectives
Only Team Administrators have the ability to set the recurrence of a meeting.
You can set up automated recurring retrospectives for your team on a periodic basis.
The first retrospective opens as soon as you start the series. By default, each later one opens once the previous one has closed, but not before the previous one's date.
You can choose to send email notifications to your team members.
Use a permalink to allow teams to easily access the latest / most current retrospective using the same link.
Setting up a new recurring retrospective
1. Select the appropriate team from the TEAMS tab.
2. Go to RETROSPECTIVES. Select START RETROSPECTIVE.
3. Once you have selected your template, go to the RECURRENCE tab and enable RECURRING SERIES. The DATE on the GENERAL tab then shows the first retrospective's date, which the recurrence sets.
The recurrence can only be set when you initially create the meeting, on the Recurrence tab of the start dialog.
- Select the frequency of your retrospectives (e.g. every two weeks) and the day of the week it recurs on. You can also:
- INVITE the team by email, Slack or Microsoft Teams each time a retrospective opens
- Turn on REMINDERS to nudge participants who have not responded yet
-
CLOSE the retrospective on a specific date and time to allow a summary to be sent to the team
When you have finished customizing, click on START RETROSPECTIVE.
-
Recurring retrospectives will be displayed on your Team Home Page with a Recurring Icon.
Stopping a recurring retrospective
-
Navigate to your team's RETROSPECTIVES tab.
-
Click the retrospective's options menu and select CUSTOMIZE RETROSPECTIVE.... On the RECURRENCE tab, switch off RECURRING SERIES and click SAVE CHANGES. No new retrospectives are created. The current retrospective will stay active.
