This is a good time to remind people that they are there to help and support each other and that the goal is to help everyone reach the final destination together. It treats the team as a team and the sailboat as the project. The Sailboat retrospective aims to reduce the focus on any one person.Some other aspects that people can include into their Sailboat Retrospective template include Choppy Waves (Things that make them feel anxious) or Calm Waves (Things that can help them experience a state of flow). What is making the team feel positive? What are the good things that can come out of this? These may be things that they look forward to and may include customer feedback, usage or improving the robustness of their infrastructure. Understanding what the risks are early can help the team think of ways to navigate around them or put signals in place as a warning as part of the next sprint. What are the risks or potential pitfalls along the way? What does the team have to watch out for? There may be communication gaps, the response from competition or technical risk that could unhinge the team.
Some anchors may be necessary, and others need to be considered to see if they will be a constant drain on the team, making them less agile and achieving less progress. It could be a lack of process or one that is too complex. What would slow the team down, or bring them to a complete stop? What would create drag and reduce velocity? It may be a dependency or policy. What is pushing the team forward towards their vision? What is driving them towards the goal? It could be their own capability, support from champions, being well resourced or being motivated by a common goal. What is the final destination for the team? What is their goal or vision? This is where they are heading to and represents their version of success. Another way to think about it is that the Sailboat is the product, project or epic that they are working on. Before starting the Sailboat retrospective, ask the team to imagine themselves as the crew of the sailboat.
