Quick summary
A sprint retrospective in Jira lets agile teams complete a sprint and immediately create a linked Confluence retrospective page or whiteboard to capture team feedback and drive continuous improvement. This built-in workflow connects sprint closure to structured reflection without leaving the Atlassian ecosystem.
Steps
- Navigate to your desired sprint and click 'Complete sprint'.
- Select 'Complete sprint' again on the confirmation prompt to finalize the sprint.
- Click the drop-down arrow to select a Confluence space for your retrospective.
- Choose between a Confluence whiteboard or Confluence page so every team member can contribute thoughts before and during the meeting.
- After selecting your preferred format, click 'Create' to generate the retrospective document.
- Review the retrospective setup confirmation — your Jira and Confluence integration ensures a smooth, repeatable process for every sprint.
- Click 'Publish' to make the retrospective available to your team.
