Prompt

A set of prompts to run your weekly retro in under 30 minutes.

Step 1 β€” Data Gather (before the meeting)
Prompt: I'll give you our sprint data. Summarise: what shipped, what didn't, and what blocked us. Data: [PASTE JIRA/LINEAR EXPORT OR BULLET POINTS]

Step 2 β€” What Went Well
Prompt: Based on this sprint summary: [SUMMARY]. Generate 5 specific 'what went well' candidates. Be specific β€” not 'good communication' but 'the daily standups caught the API issue 2 days early'.

Step 3 β€” What to Improve
Prompt: Generate 5 specific improvement candidates. For each one, suggest a concrete change we could make next sprint, not a vague principle.

Step 4 β€” Action Items
Prompt: Given these improvement areas: [LIST]. Write 3 action items. Each must have: a specific owner role, a due date (use 'by next Friday' etc), and a measurable outcome.
