Do You Know How To Use Journey Lines In Your Retrospectives

Hi, my next iteration retrospective is coming.
Since I ran out of good ideas for the retrospective I decided to get advice from my “Sensei”; he is a cool guy always ready to help us when we need. Below you can see the conversation between us.
Luis: Good morning Sensei, do you have time?
Sensei: Sure how can I help you?
Luis: You know our next Iteration is almost over, and I am thinking about good exercises for our retrospective. I am wondering if you could help me.
Sensei: Sure, but before we start can you please tell me how the iteration went? I would like to understand what did happen during the iteration so that I can give you better ideas.
Luis: Sure. This iteration was a bit complicated; there were a lot of things happening, a lot of different emotions I could almost compare it with a Roller Coaster.
Sensei: Hmmm I see… And what kind of exercise you think would suit to this retrospective?
Luis: Like I said, it was almost comparable to a Roller Coaster, so I believe something that would capture what happened during the iteration… I don’t know maybe some simple way to visualise the energy during the iteration…
I think everyone would benefit if they could see and understand how others felt with all those changes. I believe it is good to show our strengths and weaknesses to others; it shows to others that we are rational human beings like them.
