When to use it

What you give it

What you get

A retro write-up with last actions checked, themes with counts, root causes, and up to 3 owned experiments.

How it works

  1. Check last retro's actions first
  2. Pick the format
  3. Group the input into themes
  4. Find the root cause of the top 2 problems
  5. Pick 1 to 3 experiments
  6. Plan the session if it's live

Example

What you give it

Platform team, Sprint 14 retro, 6 people (PM: Lina), survey answers: 'Demo went great' (3), 'Pair programming on the importer helped' (2), 'Too many last-minute scope changes' (4), 'QA got the build on Thursday, no time to test' (3), 'Standups run 25 min'. Last retro action: 'Ana to set up a staging env' — done, live since day 3. From the discussion: stories were finished in the last 2 days; late scope changes restarted 2 stories; requests after planning go straight to developers.

What you get back (the start of it)
