Tracking incomplete actions from retrospectives

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Make your retrospectives matter by turning what your team learnt into action.

Track outstanding retrospective actions on the Retrospective page to make sure you don’t forget to follow up on great ideas.

What actions show

The “Incomplete actions” column shows when there are actions from previous retrospectives that aren't done yet.

  • In-app actions show until the checkbox is checked.

  • Actions converted to Jira issues show until they’re in a “Done” (green) status.

Use the dropdown to choose either:

  • The actions from last retrospective (one immediately prior)

  • Incomplete actions from all retrospectives on this Jira board

Context

See the context of an action:

  • The sprint or retrospective name it was created in will always show.

  • If the action was created from another retro item, see that item and its comments too.

Two action cards. The first has an open section at the bottom labelled Sprint 2, with a comment from a user that explains what needed an action. The second only has the text Sprint 1 at the bottom, with no expansion.

Sorting

Sort actions by:

  • Created date

  • Number of reactions

  • Assignee
