Sprint retrospectives backed by real sprint data
Flying Donut doesn't run your retro — but it gives you everything you need to make it useful: sprint history, velocity, activity, and a backlog to capture what you learn.
Close the loop on every sprint
Retrospectives fail when teams can't remember what actually happened. Flying Donut keeps a full record of the sprint — what was planned, what shipped, what moved, and what stayed stuck — so your retrospective starts from facts, not memory.
Use Workmate to prepare
Before the retro, ask Workmate to summarise the sprint: which cards completed, which carried over, how velocity compared to previous sprints, and whether any items were blocked for long periods. It turns raw sprint data into a readable brief your team can discuss instead of spending the first 20 minutes recapping.
How Flying Donut supports the retrospective workflow
- Review burndown and velocity charts to ground the discussion in data
- Use the activity stream to replay what changed during the sprint
- Ask Workmate for a sprint summary before the meeting starts
- Create backlog cards directly from improvement actions identified in the retro
- Label improvement cards so they stay visible across sprints
- Track whether previous retro actions were actually completed
- Use card comments to record retrospective notes alongside the related work
