In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Project Managers
Retro Notes Into Themes and Two Experiments
Prompt
Raw retro notes or sticky-note text: {{RETRO_NOTES}}
Votes or dot counts, if any: {{VOTE_COUNTS}}
Recurring themes from previous retros: {{PAST_THEMES}}
Produce:
1. Themes: group the notes into three to six themes, each with a neutral name, the notes that belong to it, and the vote total if given.
2. Repeat offenders: themes that also appeared in past retros, flagged RECURRING, with a question about why earlier actions didn't fix them.
3. Up to two experiments for the next sprint, each written as: "We believe [change] will result in [outcome]. We'll know it worked when [observable signal] by [date]." Include an owner role and the first step.
4. Problems outside the team's control, written as an escalation note for me to raise.
5. A three-line summary for the team channel.
Rules: use only the notes. Keep individuals' names out of the themes and the summary. Don't turn every note into an action; two experiments that happen beat ten that don't. If there are no votes, don't invent a ranking; say the team should vote.
