Create Retrospective

Creating a Sprint Retrospective

Generate a structured retrospective focused on learning and actionable improvements.

Quick Reference

• Input: Sprint data (goal, completed/not completed), team feedback, metrics.
• Output: Retrospective document with action items.
• Sections: What Went Well, What Didn't, Action Items, Metrics, Kudos.
• Rule: Every "what didn't" needs an action item with an owner.

HARD-GATE

DO NOT fabricate feedback — only include input the team actually provided.
DO NOT skip action items — every "what didn't" must have at least one action.
DO assign an owner and timeline to every action item.

Core Process

1. Gather — sprint data (goal met? completed/not completed tickets), team feedback, relevant metrics.
2. Categorize:
   • What Went Well — wins, effective practices, things to continue.
   • What Didn't — blockers, bottlenecks, process issues, surprises.
   • Kudos — shout-outs and recognition.
3. Identify themes — group related feedback into themes rather than listing raw comments.
4. Draft action items — specific, owned, time-bound. Use the template in RETROSPECTIVE_TEMPLATE.md if available; otherwise use the minimal template below.
5. Review — verify every "what didn't" maps to an action item.

Output Style

Use RETROSPECTIVE_TEMPLATE.md when bundled.

Section order: header → What Went Well → What Didn't → Action Items → Metrics → Kudos. Use English unless the user requests otherwise. Every "what didn't" maps to an action item with Owner, Timeline, and Linked Issue.
