How to run async sprint retrospectives for remote teams?

Run async retrospectives by creating a NoteVault template with What Went Well, What Could Improve, and Action Items sections. Share with the team 2 days before sprint end. Team members add comments on their schedule. Consolidate themes, vote async on priorities, and convert top items to improvement tasks on the board. This respects all timezones equally.
