A sprint retrospective agenda gives a scrum team a fixed structure for the meeting at the end of each sprint: check-in, what went well, what to improve, themes, and action items. Click Use Template to copy this retro board. The agent groups the cards into themes and turns the top themes into tasks for the next sprint. To design your own retro format, use AI.
What's Included
- Retro Board: Three columns (Went Well, Didn't Go Well, Action Items) on a Board view
- Theme Clustering Agent: AI agent reads cards and clusters into 3-5 themes per retro plus cross-sprint patterns
- Sprint History Database: Table view with prior retro themes, attendance, and action-item completion rate
- Action Item Automation: When a card moves to "Action Items," the automation creates a tracked task in next sprint's backlog
- Mood Tracker: Team mood (1-5) per sprint with trend
- Facilitator Guide: Built-in scrum master checklist
Why This Template Wins
- Memory across retros: Each retro feeds the Sprint History database so the agent surfaces patterns recurring across the last 4-8 sprints
- Action items don't die: Automation guarantees every action item becomes a tracked next-sprint task with an owner
- Async-first contribution: Cards added before the meeting so distributed teammates participate equally
How to Use
- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Customize column headers, mood scale, and team roster
- Connect Jira, Linear, Slack
- Train the Theme Clustering Agent on your team's vocabulary
- Set up automation triggers for action-item creation and theme summary
FAQ
Does this work for scrum and kanban retros?
Yes. Scrum retros use the sprint cadence; kanban retros use a date-range cadence (weekly, bi-weekly). The theme agent clusters by date range either way.
Can the agent identify systemic blockers?
Yes. The agent reads multi-sprint themes and surfaces blockers crossing sprints — useful for systemic issues that need engineering or product investment.
What plan supports a multi-team scrum org?
Pro ($10/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($25/mo) adds cross-team analytics.
What is a good sprint retrospective agenda?
Set the stage (5 minutes), gather what went well and what did not (15 minutes), group into themes (10 minutes), pick actions (10 minutes), and close (5 minutes).
Can AI help run a retrospective?
Yes. AI can group sticky notes into themes, spot repeat issues across sprints, and draft the action items. The team still picks what to change. Plan the next sprint with the sprint planning agenda.
