Start with Kerth's Prime Directive. Everyone makes mistakes; the Prime Directive reminds us to support, not attack, our colleagues.
Have participants brainstorm ideas in six categories: enjoyable, frustrating, puzzling; same, more less. Write each idea on a card.
Next, place the cards on a whiteboard. Move the cards so the most similar are closest together. Everybody participates; nobody speaks.
Circle and name the resulting categories. Choose one, then brainstorm root causes and solutions. Pick one: it's your retrospective objective. Follow through in the iteration to come.
When retrospectives get boring, try other formats. This is just a starting place.
