Overview
A sprint retro looks at two weeks; a quarterly retro has to look at patterns. This deck gives engineering managers a structure for that: a quarter timeline, headline metrics, a scorecard, themes chosen by dot vote, one experiment and a short action list with owners and dates.
The sample follows Vesperly Labs through its second quarter of 2027: cycle time down to 2.6 days, escaped bugs down 32%, and a vote that points to slow first reviews. Replace the timeline, numbers, votes and names with your own and cut the actions to one or two.
Useful for
- A quarterly engineering retro where the team agrees one change to how it works
- A manager review of cycle time, escaped bugs and last quarter's actions with the team
- A skip-level update that shows evidence behind a change in team process
What's included
- Quarter timeline with swimlanes and a today marker, plus a five-moment recap
- Headline metrics and a six-row scorecard with targets and status
- Themes in columns and a card slide that explains the dot-vote result
- Experiment slide in four steps: pick, trial, measure, decide
- Actions slide with owners and due dates, and a closing slide
- Make it yours guide slide to delete before sharing

Questions
Are the organization, people and figures real?
No. Vesperly Labs, every person named and every figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own team's information before you share the deck.
How long should a quarterly retro take?
Plan 60 to 90 minutes for a team of 5 to 10: 20 on the timeline and metrics, 20 on the vote and themes, and the rest on one experiment and the actions.
Why limit the deck to two actions?
Teams that leave with ten actions finish none. The actions slide holds two on purpose, each with one owner and a date, so the next retro can check them.
