Hop in to our new Easter Templates 🐰

With Easter just around the corner we thought it would be an egg-cellent idea to create some new themed templates. Gather your team and get cracking with our new Easter Retrospective and the Easter Egg Dash Icebreaker. Also in this release; new options for sorting and arranging sticky notes and email notifications for assigned Actions and Mentions.


New Templates:

Easter Retrospective 🐇

This Easter-themed retrospective helps a team reflect on recent work, burrow into topics that need deeper exploration, as well as decide actionable steps for improvement.

  • Collected Eggs: What went well?
  • Broken Eggs: What didn't go so well?
  • Rabbit Holes: Any issues or ideas you would like to raise for deeper discussion?
  • Bunny Hops: What small improvements can we make to help us reach our goals?

(Bonus - This template also includes the Egg Dash Icebreaker!)

Easter Egg Dash Icebreaker 🎉

Race against your team to claim as many stickies as you can. Then once all stickies are claimed, check under each sticky for an easter egg. Who will find the most eggs?

This will get everyone energized and ready for your meeting, so all you have to do is decide the winner's prize! (Steve suggested an afternoon off, but that seems a bit eggs-tra).

Here's our team competing to find the most eggs (some took it more seriously than others):


(Tip - there are two versions of this one, select the 'Large' version from Template Library if you are more than 10 people).

New Features:

Arrange and sort sticky notes (Beta)

For the teams who love a tidy board or as a way to quickly organise sticky notes for quick prioritization.

  • Sort by: Votes, Person or Alphabetical
  • Arrange in customizable columns and rows.

Note - this feature is in Beta - we are releasing this early as we find it useful, so we hope you will. Remember that you can undo (Ctrl + Z) any action.


Email notifications

Never miss another Action or Mention from your team. You now get an email notification when assigned an action or if you're mentioned in a board. Notification emails are sent in three ways:

  • When the Action or Mention is created
  • Monday morning (3am UTC) - A weekly digest of your upcoming Actions
  • Daily Reminder - Your actions due today

All notifications can be turned off or on from your account preferences, under the Notifications menu.


Have an awesome day 💪

Catch you in the next update.

Kit, Jamie, Steve and Steve - the Metro Retro team
