People who work in distrubuted/remote teams: • Does your company run weekly team retros? (retrospectives) • What's the most fun retro theme/topic you had experienced? (only for science, totally not going to steal the ideas for my retro tomorrow) • What is the intention for these retros in general and how does it help with your work, building rapport, productivity, etc.?

We do release on every 22nd of the month, and feature freeze for the release happens on every 17th of the month, so usually the release retro happens next working day after 22nd.

We have played Poker on lipoker.io The idea is just to do something fun and smart together. We also play CS once a week. Just keeps us together. We do ad hoc retros whenever we “feel” that we are slightly lost. No fixed schedule.

retros have a theme? isn't a retro a review of your sprint?

for us: our sprints run 2 weeks and the retro is the day before the start of the new sprint. we review the goals, what we did well. what could have been done better. Use https://www.retrium.com/ for that. For informal banter, we have virtual monthly happy hours - and have an among us session every other friday evening

We have a weekly patch release, and a major release every 8 weeks. We plan our sprint every Monday and retro on Fridays. Retros are mostly what went well for work/non-work, and what could have been better with Action items.

We have a retro meeting every two weeks, on Fridays. We discuss what went bad, what went good, and we pitch ideas of things that can make us better. This gives us a space to appreciate our fellow team-mates, have some healthy banter and we also talk about games that we can play in the coming days. When we talk about bad things or things we can improve, it helps us to ensure that we all are on the same page regarding a particular topic. Personally, this definitely helps me in feeling closer to my team, and feel good about the work I have done. We play games on https://codenames.game/
