Overview

A retrospective turns into a complaints session when nobody reviews last time's actions or leaves with a decision. This deck gives a scrum master a structured hour: a check-in with sprint numbers, a review of previous actions, start-stop-continue cards, a vote on themes and a short list of actions with owners and dates.

The sample follows the platform team at Sandpiper Cloud, a fictional software company, after Sprint 24. It shows velocity of 38 points, a 3-day cycle time, three of four previous actions done and two new actions for Sprint 25. Replace the sprint data with your own, keep one retro format and reduce the actions to one or two.

Useful for

  • A fortnightly sprint retrospective for a team of five to ten people
  • A first retro run by a new scrum master who wants a clear, timed structure
  • A rotating facilitator who needs a ready deck rather than a blank board

What's included

  • Check-in slide with mood scoring, ground rules and a sprint data slide
  • Previous actions slides that show what was done, carried or dropped
  • Start, stop and continue cards, with a detail slide of the evidence
  • Vote slide that sets the dot budget and the number of themes to pursue
  • Actions slide with owners and due dates
  • Cover, make-it-yours guide and closing slide with contacts

Questions

Are the company, people and figures real?

No. Sandpiper Cloud, its people and every figure in the deck are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own team's details.

How many actions should a retrospective produce?

One or two. The sample ends with two actions, each with an owner and a date, so the team can finish them before the next retro.

Can I use a different retro format?

Yes. Keep start-stop-continue or switch to went well, did not go well and ideas. Relabel the cards and delete the format you will not use.
