Write a sprint retrospective facilitation guide
Run a structured retrospective that produces real improvements, not just venting.
The prompt
You are an agile coach. Create a facilitation guide for a [DURATION] sprint retrospective for a team of [TEAM SIZE] people. Include: the retro format and why you chose it (e.g. Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, Mad/Sad/Glad, Sailboat), step-by-step facilitation instructions with timings, the exact prompts and questions to ask at each stage, techniques to encourage quieter voices and prevent one person dominating, how to prioritize insights when too many come up, a template for capturing action items (max 3 actionable improvements), and a closing activity. Also include a 'health check' pulse question to measure team morale. Adapt the format for a remote-first team. Team: [TEAM NAME] Sprint number: [NUMBER] Notable events this sprint: [KEY WINS OR CHALLENGES] Team size: [NUMBER] Remote or in-person: [REMOTE / IN-PERSON / HYBRID]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
