Description
This course is for you if you need Sprint Retrospective Meetings to run smoothly and productively.
What’s the real reason retrospective action items die?
It’s not your facilitation skills. It’s not your team’s motivation. Its structure, specifically, is that the moment action items leave the retrospective room and land in a separate list nobody looks at again.
This course gives early-career Scrum Masters a two-part execution system to close that gap permanently.
Part 1: Filter with precision. You’ll learn to separate problems your team can actually solve from organizational impediments that require escalation. No more spending sprint capacity on issues outside your control.
Part 2: Integrate, don’t append. You’ll embed improvement work directly into sprint planning using a 7-field tracking workflow. Action items become sprint work (visible, assigned, estimated, and reviewed in every standup).
What you’ll walk away with:
The Locus of Control Analysis Canvas (4-quadrant framework)
The Sprint-Integrated Action Tracker with a pre-filled example
Word-for-word scripts for negotiating capacity with your Product Owner
Set up guides for Jira, Azure DevOps, and Trello
The course is short, laser-focused on Sprint Retrospective, and transformational because most students apply the system within the same sprint cycle.
Target Audience
Scrum Masters in their first 6–18 months who notice that retrospective action items rarely get implemented
Agile team members who have been informally assigned retrospective follow-up responsibility
Developers or Team Leads transitioning into a Scrum Master role who want a concrete operational framework, not theory
Anyone frustrated by “retro fatigue”, teams that go through the motions of retrospectives without seeing real process improvement.
LET’S GET STARTED.
