Frequently Asked Questions

What are retrospective meetings?

Retrospective meetings are regular sessions held by a team at the end of a project or sprint. The team uses this time to discuss what went well, what didn’t and how processes can be improved in the future. The goal of these meetings is to encourage open, constructive feedback and collaborative problem solving. Retrospective meetings are a key component of agile methodologies, but can also be used outside of this framework.

How can Fellow help me have an efficient meeting?

The first step to an efficient and productive meeting is to start with an agenda. Fellow makes it easy to create an agenda using one of agenda templates, or by creating one of your own. From there, Fellow prompts meeting attendees to prepare for the upcoming meeting and collaborate on what to talk about. During the meeting, check off points as they get discussed, add notes to have a central source of truth, and document action items and next steps. This way, everyone leaves the meeting on the same page.

What makes a good retrospective meeting agenda?

Good retrospective meeting agendas ensure that everyone is on the same page about what they’re expected to talk about. Decide early on whether you want to focus on a particular project, timeline, or process so that everyone knows where to focus their attention. It’s also important to figure out what format you’d like to run the retro in: for example, do you want it to be purely a venting session, do you want it to be a brainstorming session, or do you want everyone to list what they learned.

  • “I spend my days in a lot of meetings and work with various teams across the company. Fellow is a great tool to stay organized and follow up on the action items that inevitably come out of every meeting. It’s been a game-changer for our team.”
