Retrospective Guide - Sprint Retrospective Templates

Overview

Structured retrospectives that drive real improvement. The goal isn't to vent — it's to commit to one actionable change each sprint.


1. When to Apply

Trigger Behavior
End of sprint Retro template generation
"retro", "회고" Interactive format selection
Post-incident Incident-specific retro template

2. Retro Formats

Keep / Problem / Try (기본)

# Sprint [N] Retrospective — YYYY-MM-DD

## Keep (계속할 것)
- [What worked well and should continue]

## Problem (문제점)
- [What didn't work or caused friction]

## Try (시도할 것)
- [Specific experiments for next sprint]

## Action Items
| Action | Owner | Due | From |
|--------|-------|-----|------|
| [Specific action] | @name | [date] | Problem #1 |

4Ls (Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For)

## Liked 👍
- [What the team enjoyed]

## Learned 📚
- [New knowledge or insights gained]

## Lacked 😕
- [What was missing or insufficient]

## Longed For 🌟
- [What the team wishes they had]

Sailboat ⛵

3. Facilitation Tips

  1. Review previous action items first (5 min)
  2. Silent brainstorming → write sticky notes individually (5 min)
  3. Group and vote on topics (5 min)
  4. Discuss top 3 voted items (15 min)
  5. Commit to 1-3 action items with owners and dates (5 min)
  6. Total: 30-45 minutes

4. Anti-Patterns

Anti-Pattern Fix
No action items Always end with specific, owned actions
Same problems every retro Track action item completion rate
Blame-focused Establish "no blame" ground rule
Skipping retros "too busy" This is how you GET less busy

5. Tool Coordination

Tool Purpose
Write Generate retro documents
Read Reference previous retro action items
