Retro actions that really get done
Most retros go wrong at the end: too many actions, no owners, nobody checking. Cadence gives every action an owner and brings it back until it is done.

How it works
Always an owner
An action without an owner does not exist in Cadence. The owner gets it in their list, also in Microsoft To Do.
Back in the next retro
At the top of the board: what is done, what is not, and what moves on. An action carried over twice stands out.
Or make it an experiment
Not sure whether an action works? State what you expect, how you will notice and when you evaluate.
What else you get
- A kanban board with To do, Doing and Done
- A question in Teams or Slack just before the retro: did you do this?
- Figures on how many actions are completed, and how fast
- A library of experiments that worked in other teams

Frequently asked questions
Do owners have to use Microsoft To Do?
No, it is optional. Whoever connects sees their actions there; everyone always sees them in Cadence.
