Sprint Retrospective Template

Maximize every sprint with Wrike. Utilize our sprint retrospective template to determine priority actions and improve efficiency, quality, and effectiveness.

Learn more from your sprints

Retrospectives can be haphazard and poorly organized, leading to teams duplicating work or recreating problems in future sprints. Teams can even be hesitant to schedule retrospectives if they don’t have an easy process for completing them.

  • Retrospective feedback can be missed or lost, making it difficult to adjust associated processes
  • Action items can be lost in team members’ to-do lists, creating further problems in future sprints 
  • Teams can feel overwhelmed if priorities can’t be easily outlined following feedback sessions 

Eliminate these obstacles with Wrike’s sprint retrospective template.

  • Ensure teams understand the ground rules that keep retrospectives on track
  • Easily create individual retrospective boards to share with the broader team as needed
  • Quickly assign tasks and priorities based on retrospective results

How to get the most out of your project retrospectives

Are your retrospectives failing to achieve better results? Is your team struggling to produce actionable insights? 

Streamline your post-sprint process with Wrike’s sprint retrospective template. This template is the tool you need to ensure your retrospectives produce results that positively impact future sprints.

  • Ensure the team understands the goals and rules for each sprint with automatic guidelines
  • Organize individual feedback with individual board views
  • Make retrospective meetings count by prioritizing action items
  • Instantly organize feedback by category with a custom retrospective report

As a project manager or Scrum master, you want your team to be as effective, efficient, and successful as possible. Haphazard or disjointed retrospectives won’t help your team deliver better results or avoid common roadblocks in the future. 

That’s why you need Wrike’s Sprint retrospective template that includes customizable board views for individuals and teams to organize retrospective feedback and turn it into actionable tasks. 

When a project manager is ready to start a retrospective, they simply use the sprint retrospective template to automatically set up boards. These will then help team members capture the right info, categorize it, and filter it depending on what information they need. 

The project manager can use the sprint retrospective template as a guide to the next three steps. 


Step 1: Ensure team members understand goals

Wrike’s sprint retrospective template automatically creates a task with goals and ground rules for sprint retrospectives, which can help all team members get on the same page before you start a retrospective. This information will also save project managers time by informing new team members about expectations.


Step 2: Set up individual and team boards

With Wrike’s sprint retrospective template, project managers or scrum masters can quickly set up individual boards, where team members can offer their own positive or constructive feedback. They’ll also be able to set up a team retrospective board where all feedback can be collected. 

Step 3: Prioritize and assign action items 

Finally, Wrike’s sprint retrospective template will automatically set up a board to view action items, and the project manager or Scrum master can drag and drop tasks in based on priority, assign accountability to individuals, and keep an eye on their status going forward.
