SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often end Sprints without inspecting how they worked, so the same process friction, impediments, and failures repeat Sprint after Sprint. This Skill runs the Scrum Sprint Retrospective ceremony in a blameless format and converts discussion into concrete, owned improvement actions plus durable lessons-learned records. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Retrospective Format: Guides the team through Start/Stop/Continue (or the equivalent what-went-well / what-to-improve / actions variant) with five defined activities, from reviewing prior actions to deciding new ones. - Actionable Improvement Commitments: Enforces that every action has a description, named owner, target date, success signal, and status, limited to 1-3 actions per retro. - Lessons-Learned Memory Bridge: Registers systemic patterns as RST lesson files in the project's lessons-learned directory so they survive the Sprint and are retrievable in future sessions. - Use Case: After a Sprint where items were committed without a Definition of Ready, run the retrospective to surface the root cause, commit an action like "add DoR verification to refinement" with an owner and date, and record the pattern as a project lesson. ## Quick Start Run the scrum retrospective for the Sprint that just ended and produce improvement actions with owners and dates.

Frequently Asked Questions about scrum-retrospective

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a Sprint Retrospective with Start Stop Continue?▼

Start Stop Continue structures the retro into three columns: what to start doing, what to stop doing, and what to keep doing. Gather facts from the Sprint, group themes, find root causes, then converge on 1-3 concrete improvement actions with owners and dates.

What makes a good retrospective action item?▼

A good retro action has a clear description, a named owner, a target date, and ideally a success signal, with a tracked status. Limit commitments to 1-3 actions per retro, since committing too many guarantees none get done.

What is the difference between Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective?▼

The Sprint Review inspects the product and gathers stakeholder feedback, while the Retrospective inspects the team's process and collaboration. The retro covers how the team worked, not what was built, and should run after the Review at Sprint end.

When should you not use a Sprint Retrospective format?▼

Do not use the retro to inspect the product, re-plan the next Sprint's tasks, or assign blame to individuals. Those belong to the Sprint Review, Sprint Planning, and are destructive to psychological safety respectively.

How do retrospective lessons get recorded for future Sprints?▼

Systemic patterns are registered as RST lesson files in the project's lessons-learned directory, using category and condition keys for retrieval. This prevents the same process friction from being rediscovered Sprint after Sprint.
