The Agile transition is challenging, especially since workers can be notoriously resistant to change. A study by the American Psychological Association found that change at work was associated with higher levels of stress, distrust, and turnover. In a Deloitte study, between 60–70% of major change efforts fail because team members resent the idea of making a big change.
Memes can also be used as an effective icebreaker – the "meme of the sprint", if you will.
Each team member contributes a meme summarizing how the Sprint went. It’s a fun icebreaker that gets everyone thinking; it doesn’t necessarily need to be retrospective/Agile related, just a meme that made you laugh recently.
So, if you're wondering how to help your team embrace Agile values with open arms, Agile memes are a great place to start with a laugh.
☝ Update: We have just released a new agile meme maker tool that will help you create your own memes.

Final Thoughts
Using agile related memes during a retrospective meeting can be a great way to lighten the mood and relieve tension in the room. It can also help team members to bond and collaborate better during the meeting. GoRetro is an excellent tool that can significantly enhance the efficiency of sprint retrospectives by simplifying and streamlining the entire process.
By providing a collaborative platform for teams to work on multiple projects using various boards, GoRetro can make scrum meetings more productive and collaborative. Creating boards is easy with this tool, and teams can quickly add comments, sort and filter cards and comments to facilitate team discussions.
Additionally, GoRetro includes a voting mechanism that helps with decision making and identifying action items. With all these features, GoRetro is an ideal solution for teams looking to make their retrospective meetings more effective and efficient.
