Run a team retrospective

Run a team retrospective: a free, copy-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Paste the prompt and replace each [BRACKETED] field with your own details.

The prompt

Act as a facilitator and design a [45 / 60]-minute retrospective for a team of [NUMBER] people after [SPRINT / PROJECT / QUARTER].

Give me a timed agenda, a short opening activity, three discussion questions that avoid blame, a method for voting on what to fix, and a template for turning the top two issues into action items with owners.

Pro tip: Ask the team to write notes silently for five minutes before discussing, so louder voices do not dominate.
