actually look forward to.
As the facilitator, your job is to keep things moving, safe, and useful. RetroSync handles the structure so you can focus on the conversation.
Fig. 9.A.0 — The four facilitation needs below, plus the three templates that carry most sprint retros.
9.A.1What a scrum master needs
Four things. None of them is a slide deck.
Every facilitator we've talked to comes back to the same four needs. The product is shaped around them.
§ 9.A.1.a
A.
Phase pacing without policing
Brainstorm → group → vote → discuss flows automatically. Move the team forward without watching the clock.
§ 9.A.1.b
B.
Anonymous when it matters
Toggle anonymity per board so quieter teammates and dissenting views land safely.
§ 9.A.1.c
C.
Recaps that send themselves
One-click AI summary of themes, decisions, and actions. Paste into Slack or email in seconds.
§ 9.A.1.d
D.
Action follow-through
Owners and due-bys live in the board; reminders nudge between sessions so you facilitate, not chase.
The first retro tool that made me feel less like a project manager and more like a coach. The team noticed the difference too.
9.A.3Templates that fit a sprint cadence
Start with the three that work for most teams.
Full catalogue is in § 5. Pick one to begin; the team will fork its own version within two sprints.
