When we do a timeline retrospective, we ask the team to plot their feeling/mood/confidence over time in a graph. Using the ups and downs of the lines the team draws, we try to extract information about what were the key moments in the Sprint. The findings from the that Timeline exercise can then be discussed in a Lean Coffee or Troika Consulting format in the second part of the retrospective.
