Retrospective Configuration

📘

Notice:

FireHydrant is implementing a new Retrospective experience. Please see the new docs:

• Intro to Retrospectives
• Retrospective Templates
• Attaching Retrospective Templates

You can customize the Lessons Learned questions asked in retrospectives. To manage and reorder questions, go to Settings > Incidents > Retrospective configuration.

Questions Settings

Questions can have multiple types:

• Text - Questions that are responded to with freeform text. These generally tend to be for more qualitative, write-up answers for storage and sometimes later analysis. The freeform text answers also support Markdown. See our Markdown guide.
• Select - Answers are a dropdown selection. This is a valuable question type for questions for which there should be a specific answer to
• Numeric - Answers are a numeric input.

In addition to the type of question, you can also mark specific fields as required. When a field is marked as required, a retrospective can not be completed and published without a value in that field.

Next Steps

• Look at Configuring Incidents and see how you can tailor FireHydrant for your organization
