Mad / Sad / Glad
What it is
Focus on emotions to uncover team sentiment and morale. By naming feelings explicitly, teams surface issues that might otherwise stay hidden. This format creates psychological safety by validating emotional responses.
When to use it
Best for teams coming out of a difficult sprint or when morale feels low. Use when you want to check in on team wellbeing, not just process. Great for remote teams that may be feeling disconnected.
