Monthly Retro (3 Smiley Faces)

Run a retrospective that the whole team owns — using the three smiley face method (Happy/Meh/Sad) to structure honest feedback, a rotating facilitator to build shared accountability, and a firm action-item-with-owner close that ensures the meeting changes something. One sheet tracks all retro history with sentiment, +1 counts, and action status. One kanban view for action item tracking. The +1 system surfaces shared concerns without requiring people to re-voice them. Built from Will Rocklin's practice at Square.
