This document outlines the steps for an effective retrospective meeting in Scrum. It discusses setting goals and structure for the meeting. The main steps include: setting the stage to focus people, gathering data about what went well and problems through techniques like timelines and team radar, generating insights by analyzing the data, prioritizing issues, deciding on actions, and closing the retrospective by planning follow up. Doing regular retrospectives helps Scrum teams continuously improve.
