Best 10 Retrospective Templates for Mechanical Engineers

For Mechanical Engineers, reflection on past projects and workflows is key to identifying areas for improvement and optimizing future work processes. A Retrospective template in Notion can structure this reflection, making it easier to capture insights and action points from past experiences. Before creating your own Retrospective template, exploring the examples below could streamline the process and enhance its effectiveness.

1Software Development Retrospective

The best template to run a retrospective in notion. It leverages formulas to show only enough information about how many people agree with or want to discuss a subject.

This board has two steps: 1) In the first one, you can add cards and vote without being influenced by other people's votes. 2) In the second step, you can see a summary of how many people voted to agree or discuss without seeing who it was. This helps remove bias when discussing a card.

You can always open the card and see who voted, but you can choose not to. Anonymity is not the goal of this board.
