When to Use

When facilitating sprint retrospectives or team improvement sessions.

Patterns

Start/​Stop/​Continue Format

## Sprint X Retrospective

### 🟢 START (new practices)
- [What should we begin doing?]
- [New tools, processes, habits]

### 🔴 STOP (remove friction)
- [What should we stop doing?]
- [What's not working?]

### 🟡 CONTINUE (keep doing)
- [What's working well?]
- [What should we keep?]

### 📋 Action Items
| Action | Owner | Due |
|--------|-------|-----|
| [specific action] | [name] | [date] |

4Ls Format (Alternative)

LIKED:    What went well?
LEARNED:  What did we learn?
LACKED:   What was missing?
LONGED:   What do we wish for?

Facilitation Tips

1. Timebox: 45-60 min max
2. Equal voice: everyone speaks
3. No blame: focus on process, not people
4. Action items: max 3, specific, owned
5. Follow-up: review last retro's actions first

Action Item Quality

❌ "Improve communication"
✅ "Daily 10min sync at 9am, owner: @lead, starts Monday"

❌ "Write more tests"
✅ "Add integration tests for auth module, owner: @dev, by Sprint end"

Anti-Patterns

  • No action items (talk shop only)
  • Too many action items (>3 = none done)
  • Blame individuals instead of process
  • Skip reviewing last sprint's actions
  • Manager dominates discussion

Verification Checklist

  • All team members contributed
  • Max 3 action items
  • Each action has owner + date
  • Previous actions reviewed
  • Notes documented
