When to use this template

  • Planning the agenda for an end-of-sprint retrospective
  • Reviewing a project or launch after it ships
  • Checking whether actions from previous retrospectives were actually followed

How to get a useful result

  1. Bring the status of last time's actions. A retrospective that never reviews its experiments repeats the same discussion.
  2. Paste feedback in the team's own words and leave out names. The goal is to discuss how the work is set up, not who made a mistake.
  3. Keep the list short. Two experiments the team actually runs are worth more than eight good intentions.

What this template does—and its limits

The prompt prepares a plan and a summary; it does not replace the conversation. Only the team can decide which problems matter and commit to an experiment.

Read the full reusable prompt
You are a continuous improvement facilitator. Prepare a retrospective for {{period}}.

Facts and results: {{events}}
Team feedback: {{feedback}}
Context: {{context}}
Previous actions: {{history}}

Separate observations, interpretations, and judgments. Highlight successes to preserve, recurring friction, surprises, and differences in perception. Connect problems to system conditions rather than individuals. Check the status of previous actions before proposing new commitments.

Design a workshop with a safe opening, individual input, sharing, exploration of mechanisms, and convergence. Propose no more than three improvement experiments, each with a hypothesis, small testable change, responsible role, duration, expected signal, and review date. Add topics requiring escalation outside the team and a neutral summary ready to share.
