Printable rituals for teams
that actually meet.
Ninety retrospective formats and icebreakers, written up the way a facilitator needs them: the honest timing, the group size it holds up at, the step-by-step script, and the two ways it reliably goes wrong. Download, print, run it on Monday.

Finding one was never the hard part.
Search for a retrospective format or an icebreaker and you get a hundred in ten seconds. What you don’t get is how long this one really takes with eleven people, whether it survives a hybrid call, how much trust in the room it assumes, and which question in it will make somebody go quiet.
Every guide here answers those questions on the first page, in the same table, before you read a single instruction. That is the whole product: not the ideas, the preparation you would otherwise do alone at nine in the evening.
Two shelves. No overlap.
45 formats · €24
The Retrospective Format Library
45 retrospective formats across six categories, each with at-a-glance metadata, purpose, a numbered facilitation script with timings, pitfalls, and two matching visuals — a hero illustration and a board template for Miro, Mural or A4 paper.
Tagged on three dials: which phase of the retro you are filling, how much trust is in the room, and how much energy the room has left.
45 icebreakers · €24
The Icebreaker Library
45 icebreakers selected from 141 candidates, grouped into six themes the way a facilitator’s week is grouped: ceremonies, new teams, energy, remote and hybrid, trust and wellbeing, depth and creativity.
Each one states where it is best used, the group size, the real timing, the energy level, the setting, the type and the materials — before the instructions start.
The Agile Facilitation Bundle.
90 distinct pieces, deliberately non-overlapping: eight icebreakers were cut from the second library precisely because they already existed as full formats in the first. One purchase, one download, everything you need to open and close a session.
For the people around the team, too.
The formats help you run the session. The guides help with everything around it: how teams grow, what the Manifesto and Scrum actually ask of managers, and how to cut work small enough to flow. Each comes as a PDF, an EPUB and a presentation you can restyle in your own house style.
Why it works, from practice
Seven guides grown out of in-depth interviews with a working Product Owner, each with checklists for teams and for managers, a presentation for management and a poster. 3 are out now: The Five Stages of a Team, The Agile Manifesto Unpacked, Scrum in Plain Language.
from €9
How to do it, with the tools
Slicing Work Thin: split user stories so every slice still delivers value. 65 pages of patterns with worked examples from software development, a workshop deck for a refinement session, and the slicing map for next to the board.
€12
135 illustrations, no stock photos.
Every format and every icebreaker has its own artwork, drawn in one consistent style and deliberately carrying no text — so you can put it in a Dutch invitation, a German wiki or an English slide without translating anything first.
Four complete guides, free.
Not previews — the same files that are in the libraries. Pay-what-you-want, and €0 gets you the identical file. More about the free guides.
ESVP
An anonymous read of how the room actually arrived, and a decision rule for what to do when half of it says Prisoner.
Safety Check
Five minutes, anonymous, five levels — tells you whether the retro you planned is the one this team can have today.
Emoji Check-In
Three minutes, works in person and in Teams, and obliges nobody to explain themselves.
Human Bingo
The classic written up properly, with the questions that quietly exclude people taken out.
One Product Owner, one standard.
TeamRitualStudio is the product line of Myosotis IT Services in Dordrecht. Everything here is selected, specified and reviewed by Sven Vogelezang, a working Product Owner with 29 years in IT, who works side by side with Scrum Masters and steps into that role himself when the team needs it — and every guide is held to the same structure, so you can compare two of them at a glance instead of reading both.
Iterr and Estimr
Estimr is free planning poker for agile teams. Iterr is the platform it belongs to: team intelligence for organisations that run more than one team.
Different product, same problem — making the ceremonies worth the hour they take.
