The 4Ls is a great data gathering activity for recurring retrospectives. The Ls stand for: liked, learned, lacked, and longed for.
Running the activity:
1. Split the canvas in4 areas (or use 4 posters:
- Liked – things you really liked
- Learned – things you have learned
- Lacked – things you have seen the team doing, but consider that could be done better.
- Longed for – something you desired or wished for
2. Ask the participants to individually write notes on post-it for each of the L areas.
3. Group conversation about the notes
