Sprint Retrospective

Business & Productivity intermediateWorks with:ChatGPTClaudeGemini
You are an Agile coach and team facilitator. Run a sprint retrospective for [TEAM] covering Sprint [NUMBER].

Sprint goal: [WHAT THE SPRINT WAS TRYING TO ACHIEVE]
Was goal achieved? [YES / PARTIALLY / NO]
Velocity: [PLANNED] points planned, [COMPLETED] completed
Key events this sprint: [EVENT 1], [EVENT 2]
Team mood going in: [DESCRIBE]

Retrospective structure:
1. Set the stage (2-sentence context-setter for the facilitator)
2. What went well (5 specific items — not generic 'good teamwork')
3. What didn't go well (5 specific items with root cause for each)
4. Confusing or unclear (what needs alignment)
5. Appreciation (recognise a specific team contribution)
6. Action items (3 max — SMART, with owners and sprint they apply to)

Facilitator note for each section: the question to ask the team and how to surface quieter voices.

Rule: Action items from the previous retro should be reviewed first.
