it depends on if the retro itself is rigid or not many times retros are done in the same fashion: 1. everyone writes their pain points 2. everyone writes what went well (this is usually ignored) 3. everyone votes on the pain points 4. take the top 3 and discuss 5. write up some todo for the top 3 --- the above looks good on paper, but in reality many times a free flowing discussion is much more productive, and this can be done by just normal team meetings to discuss such issues
