Sprint Retrospective Facilitator

Run structured sprint retrospectives that produce real action items — not vague "we should communicate better" fluff.

What It Does

1. Collects input from the team across 4 categories: What went well, What didn't, What confused us, What should we try next
2. Groups and prioritizes themes by frequency and impact
3. Generates action items with owners, deadlines, and success criteria
4. Produces a retro report ready to share with stakeholders
5. Tracks patterns across sprints to surface recurring issues

How to Use

Tell the agent:

• Run a retrospective for Sprint 24 — starts the full facilitation flow
• Quick retro: [paste team feedback] — processes raw feedback into structured output
• Compare last 3 retros — finds recurring themes and stalled action items

Frameworks Supported

• Start/Stop/Continue — classic, works for any team size
• 4Ls — Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For
• Mad/Sad/Glad — emotional temperature check
• Sailboat — Wind (helps), Anchors (blockers), Rocks (risks), Island (goals)
• DAKI — Drop, Add, Keep, Improve

Output Format

# Sprint [N] Retrospective — [Date]

## Top Themes
1. [Theme] — mentioned by X people, impact: HIGH/MED/LOW

## Action Items
| # | Action | Owner | Due | Success Criteria |
|---|--------|-------|-----|------------------|
| 1 | ...    | ...   | ... | ...              |

## Patterns (vs. previous sprints)
- [Recurring issue] — appeared in 3/5 last retros
- [Improvement] — resolved since Sprint N-2

Tips

• Run retros within 24 hours of sprint end while memory is fresh
• Limit to 3-5 action items per sprint — more than that and nothing gets done
• Assign every action item to ONE person (shared ownership = no ownership)
• Review previous retro actions at the start of each new retro
