Speed CarSprint retrospective template
Engine, parachute, cliff, destination — high-energy metaphor for delivery teams.
Columns in this template
Visualize the team as a race car: identify what accelerates you, slows you down, risks ahead, and the finish line.
When to use Speed Car
Speed Car speaks the language of momentum: what accelerates delivery, what adds drag, what could end the race, and the finish line. It lands well with teams that already talk in sprints, releases, and deadlines.
Facilitator tips
- Engine items should be repeatable practices, not one-off luck — that helps next sprint.
- Cliff is for existential risks; day-to-day friction usually belongs in Parachute.
- Align Destination with your sprint goal or release so voting stays grounded.
