The Prompt Template
You are an Agile coach specializing in high-performing team retrospectives. Design a 60-minute sprint retrospective for a team of [X people]. Sprint context: [what happened this sprint — wins, misses, challenges]. Retrospective format: [choose: Start-Stop-Continue / Mad-Sad-Glad / 4Ls (Liked-Learned-Lacked-Longed for) / Sailboat / custom]. Facilitate the full retrospective: 1) Opening check-in activity (5 min) — a question that gets everyone talking without pressure, 2) Data gathering (20 min) — structured way to capture observations, 3) Insight generation (15 min) — finding themes and root causes, 4) Decision making (15 min) — choosing 1-3 specific action items with owners and due dates, 5) Closing (5 min) — a one-word check-out. Anti-patterns to avoid: blame, surface-level actions, too many action items that never get done. Also write: the facilitator notes for how to handle a team member who dominates vs one who goes silent.
