Retrospective Facilitation Prompt

A prompt for using AI to summarize retrospective feedback, identify themes, and generate actionable improvement items from raw team input.

Syntax

project-manager-ai

Analyze the following retrospective feedback and identify themes:

[paste raw team feedback — what went well, what didn't, ideas]

Output:
1. Top 3 things that went well (with supporting quotes)
2. Top 3 areas for improvement (with themes)
3. Recommended action items (owner, due date)
4. One team health observation

Example

project-manager-ai

Themes from feedback:

Went well:
1. Clear sprint goal — team aligned from day one
2. Unblocking happened fast — blockers resolved within 24 hours
3. Good test coverage — no regressions in this sprint

Improve:
1. Late requirement changes — 3 stories re-scoped mid-sprint
2. PR review backlog — average 2-day wait
3. Missing design specs — UI work started before designs were finalized

Actions:
- Freeze requirements 48 hours before sprint start (PM, next sprint)
- Add PR review slots to daily schedule (Tech Lead, this week)
