Pyjamas Day Retrospective

Pyjamas Day

Embrace the cozy comfort of a pyjama-themed retrospective to inspire openness and creativity among your team. The Pyjamas Day Retrospective is not just about wearing your favourite PJs; it's about bringing the warmth, ease, and personal stories they evoke into our collaboration and reflection process.

Warm-Up

1. Invite in Comfort: As a fun start, encourage everyone to wear their favorite pyjamas to the video call. It sets a relaxed, open atmosphere right from the beginning. Feel free to skip this step.
2. Share Your PJ Tale: Kick things off with a short round of "PJ Tales." Ask each team member to share a quick story or interesting fact about their favourite/chosen pyjamas. It could be a funny anecdote, why they're their favorite, or even where they got them. This not only warms up the group but also builds a sense of personal connection and team spirit.
3. Set the Tone with Music: Playing some light, relaxing background music can enhance the cozy vibe using our Icebreaker feature. Consider having a soft playlist ready as people join in and share their tales.
4. Transition into the Retro: Once everyone has shared, segue into the main part of the retrospective by connecting the themes of comfort and openness from the warm-up to the goals of the session ahead.
