The Agile Retrospective Planner provides a structured, step-by-step approach to planning, running, and tracking successful retrospectives. Transform team reflection into actionable improvements with guided workflows, collaboration features, and integrated knowledge resources.

Purpose and Benefits

More than just a note-taking tool, this planner ensures every part of the retrospective process-preparation, execution, analysis, and follow-up-results in lasting value for Agile teams.

  • Consistent Structure: Enforces proven retrospective frameworks for repeatable, high-value sessions.
  • Proactive Planning: Encourages thoughtful agenda setting and stakeholder preparation.
  • Actionable Outcomes: Breaks insights into trackable tasks, assigned owners, and deadlines for real change.
  • Rich Collaboration: Comments, AI-powered summaries, and document integration foster transparency.
  • Continuous Learning: Educational tabs and case studies upskill facilitators and teams in real time.
  • Historical Record: Export plans and results to track improvement over multiple sprints.

How It Works: 5-Step Guided Process

Guide your team through every phase of a powerful retrospective-from agenda setting, through execution, and on to actionable improvements.

Step 1: Prepare for Retrospective

Outline objectives, gather relevant sprint/team data, schedule, assign roles, and set up the session environment.


Step 2: Conduct the Retrospective

Structure the meeting phases (opening, data gathering, discussion, action items), with detailed techniques and ownership for each.


Step 3: Analyze & Prioritize

Apply root cause analysis, affinity mapping, and voting methods to surface insights and select top improvement actions.


Step 4: Implement & Monitor

Break out action items into tasks, assign owners and dates, track completion, and define key success metrics.


Step 5: Final Report

Aggregate the plan and outcomes into a shareable, exportable report (including JSON export) for team and stakeholder use.

Use Cases

  • Scrum Masters: Facilitate productive, repeatable, and collaborative retrospectives with clear action follow-through.
  • Agile Coaches: Standardize and improve retrospectives across multiple teams; upskill teams using embedded education resources.
  • Agile Teams: Collaborate on improvement plans, take ownership of action items, and monitor long-term team health.
  • Project & Product Managers: Reference full retrospective outcomes and action tracking for performance insights.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Prepare data and send objectives to participants ahead of time.
  • Rotate facilitation or try new techniques (Mad Sad Glad, Starfish, etc.) for engagement.
  • Make action items visible and review them at each retrospective.
  • Export and archive reports for insight into long-term trends and improvement.
