Starlex templates
Templates for retros, roadmaps and diagrams
Start your next retrospective, planning session or design from a template the whole team can edit at once. All 21 are free in every Starlex project, on live whiteboards and in the diagram editor.
Agile and Scrum
Sprint retrospective template
Three columns every team understands: what went well, what to improve and what you will do about it. Fill it in together on a live whiteboard, vote on what matters and leave with real actions.
Start, stop, continue template
The quickest retrospective format there is. Ask three questions, collect honest answers on sticky notes and turn them into changes the whole team agrees on.
Sprint planning template
Plan a sprint the way Scrum intends: agree on a goal first, check how much time the team really has, then choose the work that serves the goal.
Story point estimation template
Size a whole backlog in one session. Drag each story into the column that fits, compare it with its neighbours and only discuss the ones that do not fit.
Kanban board template
Four columns that show where every piece of work stands. Use the whiteboard version to sort ideas in a workshop, and a live Starlex board for the work itself.
Planning and strategy
Weekly planner template
One frame for each working day. Lay out the week with your team on Monday morning, so everyone knows what is happening and when.
Now, next, later roadmap template
A roadmap about priorities, not deadlines. Three columns tell everyone what the team is building now, what it will pick up next and what it is considering for later.
Eisenhower matrix template
Sort everything on your plate into four boxes: do it now, plan it, hand it over or drop it. The priority matrix makes it obvious where your time should go.
SWOT analysis template
Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats on one board. A SWOT analysis gives the team a shared, honest picture before a big decision.
Product and research
Lean canvas template
A one page business plan for a new product or idea. Fill in nine boxes, find your riskiest assumption and test it before you build too much.
Empathy map template
Put yourself in your user's shoes. An empathy map collects what a person says, thinks, does and feels, so the whole team designs for the same person.
User story map template
Lay out the user's journey from left to right and the work that supports it from top to bottom. Then draw a line: everything above it is your first release.
Brainstorming template
One question in the middle, ideas all around it. A simple layout that gets a group thinking, and then helps it choose.
Mind map template
Start with one idea in the middle and branch out. A mind map helps you explore a topic, break down a project or organise notes the way ideas connect in your head.
Diagrams
Flowchart template
A ready made flowchart with the standard shapes: start, input, a decision with a loop back, a process step and an end. Change the labels and your process is on screen.
Swimlane diagram template
A flowchart with one lane per team or role. Swimlanes show not only what happens, but who does it and where the work changes hands.
System architecture diagram template
A clean starting point for showing how your software fits together: clients, the edge, services, data stores and the background work between them.
ER diagram template
Tables, keys and the relations between them in crow's foot notation. A clear way to design a database, or to explain one to the team.
UML class diagram template
Model the structure of your code: classes with their fields and methods, the interfaces they implement and how they relate.
Sequence diagram template
Show how the parts of a system talk to each other over time: who sends which message, in what order, and what comes back.
Org chart template
Show how your team is organised, from its leaders to each group, in a tree that lays itself out.
