Rate the sprint 1–5 with one line of context
Each person posts a number and a short reason. Cluster highs and lows before the main format.
How to use it
Define the scale: 1 = rough, 5 = great—avoid mixing personal vs team interpretation; pick one.
Group similar scores and ask one representative per cluster to expand.
If scores diverge wildly, that gap is a retro topic on its own.
Retrospective boards that pair well
Quantitative nudges pair with formats that mix concrete practices with directional feedback.
Starfish Retrospective
Five lenses on current practice: keep, more, less, stop, and start—great for tuning ways of working.
Plus Delta
Simple plus and delta columns keep feedback constructive and easy to scan.
Keep Problem Try
A compact Japanese-inspired format: anchor strengths, name problems, pick tries.
