SprintFlint pulls completed tickets, blockers and velocity into the retro automatically. Your team focuses on the conversation, not preparing the doc.
Start FreeFor a two-week sprint, plan 60-90 minutes. Use a hard timebox per section so you don't over-run on the first bucket. Keep facilitation tight; the value is in the actions, not the venting.
One to three. More than that and nothing gets followed through. Assign an owner and a due date to each. If you can't, drop it.
Start/Stop/Continue if your team is new to retros. Mad/Sad/Glad after a hard sprint. 4Ls for deeper learning sprints. Sailboat for distributed teams on a visual board. Rotate every few sprints to keep the format fresh.
Generally no. Rotate facilitation across the team so people feel safer surfacing issues. The manager is a participant, not the chair.
