Sprint Retro Generator
Retros don't need a calendar invite. Answer three prompts, get a formatted retro you can paste into Slack, Notion, or the PR that closed the sprint.
*Retro — (your name)* :white_check_mark: *Went well:* — :warning: *Didn't go well:* — :arrow_forward: *Try next:* —
Run it async, keep the good part
The valuable output of a retro is the "try next" list — everything else is ceremony. Have each person fill this in before the meeting (or instead of it), paste them into one thread, and spend fifteen minutes agreeing on the one thing you'll actually change. Pair it with the async standup generator and you've replaced two meetings.
