Sprint Retrospective

At the end of the sprint we'll talk about how everything went. Each person will talk about wins we had as a team, how we feel on the sprint, and what concerns they have. We'll then talk about the concerns as a group and discuss action items to resolve those concerns.

We encourage transparency in these meetings to discuss the sprint with honesty with the team. The whole team should be involved in the discussion and sharing when prompted. All notes should be captured and shared.

Agenda

What went well?

Celebrate success. Review the work that done, and congratulate those who made it happen.

Ask each person — either anonymously or publicly — to share what they feel has gone well during the sprint. Make a note of each item. Ask them to elaborate if needed.

What needs improvement?

Ask each person — either anonymously or publicly — to share what they feel hasn't gone so well during the sprint. Make a note of each item. Ask them to elaborate if needed.

Action items

Ask the team: "Based on everything discussed what actions can we take to improve things?"

Note down ideas, and discuss which we will move forwards with. It's also important to assign those tasks to a person, preferably with a deadline.
