conduct-retrospective

Facilitate a structured retrospective that reviews recent project execution, identifies what worked and what didn't, and produces actionable improvement items that feed back into project processes. This skill transforms raw project data into evidence-backed learnings with specific actions, owners, and due dates.

Expected: Data summary with quantitative metrics (velocity, completion %, blocker count).

On failure: If no artifacts exist, base the retrospective on qualitative observations.

Conduct a project or sprint retrospective by gathering data from status reports and velocity metrics, structuring what went well and what needs improvement, and generating actionable improvement items with owners and due dates. Use at the end of a sprint, after a project phase or milestone, following a significant incident or success, at a quarterly review of ongoing processes, or before starting a similar project to capture lessons learned.
