About this template

Agile retrospectives let you periodically reflect on what worked, what didn't and why. Atlassian recommends running a retrospective with your team every couple of weeks or at the end of project milestones.

Running the retrospective is relatively simple:

  1. Prepare by duplicating this template for each new retrospective
  2. Start by going over what the team did well, adding cards to the board
  3. Follow up with what the team can do better and add those cards
  4. Finally, have everyone brainstorm actions that the team can take to improve problem areas

Remember that the goal of a retrospective is for everyone involved to learn and participate.

Don't make it personal and don't take it personally. The point is not to blame people for mistakes but to approach any issues uncovered as an opportunity for improvement.

This templates is based on the official Atlassian retrospective guide.
