Wait, are we really suggesting typing feedback instead of talking? Sounds odd.

Specific questions could help, but it might still leave some quiet.

Not sure if emailing feedback is the best idea, feels too impersonal.

I’m a bit hesitant about option D. Emailing feedback seems like it could lead to less engagement during the actual meeting. I think we need more interaction.

I practiced a similar question where we talked about balancing participation. I think encouraging everyone to write down their feedback first, like in option C, could really help.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like asking specific questions could help get quieter team members to speak up. So maybe option B?

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident the image UDO would be used in the Designer pane of Page Composer.

Hold up, are we sure the scrum master isn't just going to use that spreadsheet to play a rousing game of Tetris during the retrospective? Talk about a team-building exercise!

Yeah, C is definitely the way to go. Although I do like the idea of emailing feedback in a spreadsheet. That could be a fun way to get people excited about data visualization!
