Questions for Team Reflection

Last year, the week before Christmas my teams and I looked back on the past year (using the Team Christmas Table game). During this team session we used the below list of questions. The questions were formulated for end-of-year reflection, but you can use them with your team to look back on any given time frame.

You can use the online dice tool to pick random questions (create 7 dices with 6 sides).
