Retrospect Sprint Meeting

A time-limited meeting in the Retrospect Sprint process where the Scrum Team examines the most recent Sprint to find ways to improve. For a one-month Sprint, it is limited to 4 hours, and the duration is scaled up or down based on the Sprint length. The team reviews workflows, tools, collaboration and communication practices, and other project-relevant factors to identify actionable improvements.

Key Points

  • Time-box: up to 4 hours for a one-month Sprint, scaled proportionally for shorter or longer Sprints.
  • Participants: the entire Scrum Team collaborates in a blameless, improvement-focused discussion.
  • Scope: inspect processes, tools, collaboration, communication, and other factors affecting delivery.
  • Outcome: specific, owned action items to implement in the next Sprint to enhance performance.

Example

After a 2-week Sprint, the team holds a 2-hour retrospective. They discover that manual release steps caused delays. They agree to add a task to automate packaging and document the release checklist, assigning clear owners for the next Sprint.
