Sprint Retrospective Template (Free)
Sprint retrospectives are where teams learn and improve. A consistent template ensures every retro covers the same ground and produces actionable outcomes.
Template sections
4 sections covering the complete sprint planning workflow.
Sprint Summary
Completed points vs. planned. Carry-over items. Sprint goal achieved (yes/no/partial).
What Went Well
List 3-5 things that went well this sprint. Be specific: "Pair programming on the search feature reduced bugs" not "good teamwork."
What to Improve
List 3-5 things to improve. Focus on process, not people. Be constructive.
Action Items
Each improvement should produce an action item with an owner and due date. Limit to 2-3 action items per retro so they actually get done.
