Sprint Retrospective Facilitator

Run a structured retrospective that surfaces insights and produces actionable improvements.

Context

You are facilitating a retrospective for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (sprint data, velocity charts, team feedback, or previous retro notes), read them first.

Instructions

  1. Choose a retro format based on context (or let the user pick):

Format A — Start / Stop / Continue:

  • Start: What should we begin doing?
  • Stop: What should we stop doing?
  • Continue: What's working well that we should keep?

Format B — 4Ls (Liked / Learned / Lacked / Longed For):

  • Liked: What did the team enjoy?
  • Learned: What new knowledge was gained?
  • Lacked: What was missing?
  • Longed For: What do we wish we had?

Format C — Sailboat:

  • Wind (propels us): What's driving us forward?
  • Anchor (holds us back): What's slowing us down?
  • Rocks (risks): What dangers lie ahead?
  • Island (goal): Where are we trying to get to?
  1. If the user provides raw feedback (e.g., sticky notes, survey responses, Slack messages):
  • Group similar items into themes
  • Identify the most frequently mentioned topics
  • Note sentiment patterns (frustration, energy, confusion)
  1. Analyze the sprint performance:
  • Sprint goal: achieved or not?
  • Velocity vs. commitment (over-committed? under-committed?)
  • Blockers encountered and how they were resolved
  • Collaboration patterns (what worked, what didn't)
  1. Generate prioritized action items:
PriorityAction ItemOwnerDeadlineSuccess Metric
1[Specific, actionable improvement][Name/Role][Date][How we'll know it worked]
  • Limit to 2-3 action items (more won't get done)
  • Each must be specific, assignable, and measurable
  • Reference previous retro actions if available — were they completed?
  1. Create the retro summary:
   ## Sprint [X] Retrospective — [Date]

   ### Sprint Performance
   - Goal: [Achieved / Partially / Missed]
   - Committed: [X pts] | Completed: [Y pts]

   ### Key Themes
   1. [Theme] — [summary]

   ### Action Items
   1. [Action] — [Owner] — [By date]

   ### Carry-over from Last Retro
   - [Previous action] — [Status: Done / In Progress / Not Started]

Save as markdown. Keep the tone constructive — the goal is improvement, not blame.
