Overview
Scrum Masters and Team Leads need to capture insights and action items during sprint retrospectives. Many teams use Confluence to document retrospective discussions and notes. However, when it comes to tracking follow-up actions, those items can get disconnected from the sprint itself in Jira.
With Excel-like Tables for Jira, teams can complement their written retro notes by logging and tracking action items directly inside a Jira issue, making them easier to follow through.
Scenario: Capturing sprint retrospective insights
Jira native
- Retrospective notes are often captured as plain text in Jira or stored in Confluence.
- There isn’t a structured way to track retro action items inside the sprint board.
With Excel-like Tables for Jira
- Add a table to a “Sprint Retrospective” issue with categories, action items, owners, and deadlines.
- Track progress on action items over time, directly tied to the sprint context.
- Teams can still use Confluence for the full retro write-up, while Excel-like Tables for Jira provides a lightweight, actionable tracker in Jira.
Value
Keeps retrospective action items structured, visible, and tied to the sprint, without replacing existing retro workflows in Confluence.
