One-Day Remote Retrospective

Step 1: Notes

  1. 1.

    How did the last sprint feel for you?

    Scale: 1-5 (1 = Rough, 5 = Great)

  2. 2.

    One word for the last sprint.

  3. 3.

    What went well?

  4. 4.

    What didn't go well?

  5. 5.

    Ideas, questions, or things that puzzled you.

  6. 6.

    Shout-outs: who helped you, and how?

Step 2: Vote

  1. 1.

    Spend 5 dots on the themes we should fix first. Put several dots on one theme if it matters most.

    • Meetings take too much time
    • Unclear priorities
    • Slow code reviews
    • Hand-offs between teams
    • Too much unplanned work
    • Tooling and test environments

    Allocate 5 points

  2. 2.

    For the theme you gave the most dots: what's one concrete thing we could try next sprint?

  3. 3.

    Actions you'll own: what you'll do, and by when.

  4. 4.

    AI Interview

    Interview goal: Take the theme the respondent gave the most dots and ask for one recent, concrete example of it happening, using their own notes from this morning if one fits: what happened, who was affected, and what it cost the team. Then ask what would have to change for it not to happen again next sprint. If their example points to a different theme, say so and ask which one matters more. Stop after three questions.
