A Scrum retrospective typically follows these stages:
Setting the stage: Establish the meeting's purpose and create an open, trusting environment for discussion.
Gathering data: Collect information on what happened during the sprint to identify trends and patterns.
Generating insights: Analyze the data and discuss potential root causes of issues and new opportunities.
Deciding on actions: Prioritize and agree on specific actions to be implemented in the next sprint.
Closing: Reflect on the retrospective itself and identify ways to improve future sessions.
These stages promote effective reflection, learning, and continuous improvement within the Scrum framework.
