A focused sprint retrospective that celebrates successes, examines missed goals, and creates concrete adjustments for the next sprint.
When to use this template
Use when the team wants a quick, target‑oriented review that highlights both wins and gaps in a single sprint.
How to facilitate
Gather the team in a virtual board and set the timer for the session
Start with the Bullseye Hits column, ask each member to add concise statements of what went well and why it mattered
Move to Missed Shots, have participants write brief items describing goals that weren’t met and the underlying reasons
Group similar items, discuss root causes, and then populate Aim Adjustment with specific, actionable tweaks for the next sprint
Vote on the top three adjustments, assign owners, and close the session with a quick confidence check
Pro Tips
Use colored sticky notes or emojis to differentiate hits vs misses for visual clarity
Limit each entry to one sentence to keep the board scannable and the discussion focused
Capture the agreed adjustments in the sprint backlog as explicit tasks with owners
FAQ
What if the team can’t agree on what counts as a hit?
The facilitator can ask each member to explain the impact and look for common themes; if disagreement persists, vote to keep the most widely supported items.
How many items should we put in each column?
Aim for 5‑7 concise items per column to keep the conversation focused and avoid overload.
What if we run out of time?
Prioritize discussion on Missed Shots and Aim Adjustment, and defer less critical hits to a follow‑up note or the next retrospective.
