1. Introduction

The Scrum Master explains the purpose of the Sprint Retrospective. 

2. Discuss what worked well

Optionally record what worked well for future reference.

Open the retrospective work item.  Add a section to the Notes page:

• What worked well in the Sprint?

3. Discuss what didn't work well, and how we can improve

Optionally record what did not work well for future reference.

Add a section to the Notes page titled:

• What didn't work well and how can we improve?

4. Create tasks for future improvements 

In order to track the improvements that the team decides to do, you can create tasks, assign them to owners and mark as completed when done.

You can create improvement tasks as children of the retrospective work item as follows:

• Click the Links tab
• Click the arrow next to Add Related and select Children
• Click Create Linked Story
• For Type, select Task
• For Planned For, select the next Sprint. 
• Fill out Summary, Description, and other attributes as appropriate.

1. Standard meeting follow-up items

This includes creating work items from meeting notes, soliciting feedback from absent members, resolving any work item associated with the meeting, and creating snapshots of meeting-related work products.

2. Advance the current Sprint

In addition to standard meeting followup items the Scrum Master updates the project environment to reflect that the current Sprint is over, and starts a new Sprint.

Even though the start and end dates for each Sprint have already been defined, Rational Team Concert doesn’t advance to the next Sprint automatically, even though the current one was completed. This needs to be done manually by the Scrum Master.

• Click the Administration icon and select Manage This Project Area.
• Click Timelines.
  In the Defined Timelines area, expand the timeline to display the Sprints.
• Select the new Sprint
• Click the Set the Selected Iteration as Current icon

See Creating timelines and iterations.
