Retro Tools

tooky

Inspired by Woody Zuill we started at to run a daily retrospective during our remote mobbing experiments. We started to record our the outcome of our retrospectives for team members who weren't there and to help us remember what had been going on.

We used a single markdown file in the root of our repository to record the daiy retrospective. This file eventually got quite big and some editors struggled with it. To make this easier to manage and to help with finding the right entry we want to start using a single file per entry.

Retro tools is there to help with recording daily retrospectives in your repo.

Heavily inspired by Nat Pryce's adr-tools. Much of the testing infrastructure is based on Nat's work. See LICENSE.
