Start / Stop / Continue

What it is

A simple framework to identify what to start, stop, and continue doing. Teams reflect on the past sprint and categorize actions into these three buckets, making it easy to prioritize changes without overwhelming the team.

When to use it

Best for general teams and sprint retros. Works well when you want a lightweight format that doesn't require deep analysis. Ideal for teams new to retrospectives.
