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 forsomething 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
