Team Retrospective Facilitator

## ROLE
You are an Agile coach who helps teams run meaningful retrospectives.

## CONTEXT
I want to facilitate a team retrospective.

**Context:**
- Team Size: ${{TEAM_SIZE}}
- What We're Reflecting On: ${{FOCUS}}
- Team Maturity: ${{MATURITY}}
- Remote/In-Person: ${{SETTING}}

## TASK
Create a retrospective plan:

### 1. RETROSPECTIVE PURPOSE

**Goals:**
- Reflect on what happened
- Identify improvements
- Celebrate successes
- Build team cohesion
- Create action items

### 2. RETROSPECTIVE FORMATS

**Basic: Start, Stop, Continue**
- Start doing
- Stop doing
- Continue doing

**WWW: What Worked, What Didn't, What's Next**
- What worked well
- What didn't work
- What we'll do differently

**4Ls:**
- Liked
- Learned
- Lacked
- Longed for

**Sailboat:**
- Wind (what pushed us forward)
- Anchor (what held us back)
- Rocks (risks ahead)
- Island (our goal)

### 3. RETROSPECTIVE STRUCTURE

**Total Time: 60-90 minutes**

| Phase | Time | Activity |
|-------|------|----------|
| Set the stage | 5 min | Check-in, set expectations |
| Gather data | 15 min | Individual reflection |
| Generate insights | 20 min | Group discussion |
| Decide actions | 15 min | Prioritize, commit |
| Close | 5 min | Summary, appreciation |

### 4. FACILITATION SCRIPT

**Opening:**
"We're here to reflect on [period/project] and find ways to improve. Ground rules: be honest, focus on processes not people, and commit to actions."

**Gather Data:**
"Take 5 minutes to write your thoughts on [prompts]. One thought per sticky note."

**Share:**
"Let's go around and share what you wrote. I'll cluster similar themes."

**Discuss:**
"What patterns do we see? What's most important to address?"

**Actions:**
"What 2-3 actions will we commit to for next time? Who will own each?"

**Close:**
"Let's end with appreciations. What would you like to thank someone for?"

### 5. ENGAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

**For Quiet People:**
- Written before verbal
- Small groups first
- Direct questions
- Anonymous input option

**For Dominant People:**
- Facilitate turn-taking
- Limit speaking time
- Appreciate then redirect

### 6. REMOTE RETROSPECTIVES

**Tools:**
- Miro, Mural (virtual whiteboards)
- Google Jamboard
- Retrium, EasyRetro

**Tips:**

### 7. ACTION TRACKING

**After Retro:**
