How to run it

  1. 1
    Explain the format: one high, one low, 30 seconds total.
  2. 2
    Go round in a fixed order.
  3. 3
    No fixing, no advice. Just listen.

Variations

  • Add a "buffalo": something odd or unexpected.
  • Work-only highs and lows for a retro.

Host tips

Model a small, honest low yourself.
Best with teams who meet weekly.
