How to choose the right retrospective format
The best retrospective template is the one your team actually engages with. Start Stop Continue is the safest default—clear columns, familiar structure, and easy to facilitate even without a dedicated Scrum Master.
Switch formats when energy drops or when the team needs a different lens. Mad Sad Glad surfaces emotional data that a process-only format misses. Sailboat is ideal for quarterly reviews where strategic risk matters. Team Health Check belongs in your quarterly rotation to track morale trends over time.
