How do I run a software development retrospective comparing planned objectives with actual execution?▼

Can I generate a retrospective report for an individual ticket or a specific date range?▼

Yes, retrospective analysis supports individual tickets, specific date ranges, and entire epics. You can generate targeted retro reports by invoking the analysis command to evaluate CI statuses and PR activity against the plan for those specific scopes.

What data do I need to perform plan analysis and assess development performance?▼

Plan analysis requires your development plan data structures alongside accessible merge commits, PR review threads, and CI statuses. This data allows the assessment to compare intended objectives with actual codebase changes and team contributions.

How does multi-voice synthesis work when analyzing a development plan retro?▼

Multi-voice synthesis aggregates feedback and contributions from individual team members based on their actual work on the plan. It correlates this input with PR activity and codebase changes to provide a comprehensive view of plan effectiveness.

What is the best way to get actionable insights from a closed development plan?▼
