Mad Sad Glad Retrospective

What is different about this format?

The mad sad glad retrospective focuses on the team's emotional experience during the sprint. This format helps shift focus from tasks and specific deliverables to a broader work context.

This is one of the ways to improve developer experience and boost morale.

Mad Sad Glad improves the empathy and emotional maturity of the team since it focuses experiences of individuals. Each participant shares their perspective, surfacing opportunities for growth and improvement, instead of assigning blame and guilt.
