Retrospective — a meeting at the end of a sprint or project where the team reviews what went well, what didn't, and what to change. Theoretically blame-free; often not.
Of, or relating to, the past, past times, or the way things were.
things past; retroactive, ex post facto.
A quick verbal or social audit of whether a situation, plan, or group is holding together under pressure — borrowed from the agile stand-up format but used ironically in everyday chaos. Someone calling a scrum check in the wild means they want everyone to briefly surface what's going wrong before things spiral further. Used in friend groups, shared households, and overloaded team chats as a shorthand for 'let's take thirty seconds to acknowledge we are barely functioning before we continue.'
A retrospective review — the habit of pausing to look back at how a project, plan, or situation unfolded before moving forward. Originally a formal Agile ceremony where teams evaluate what worked, what didn't, and what to change next sprint, the retro check has bled into casual usage as a vibe audit on any completed experience. Had a weird weekend? Run a retro check. Finished a situationship? Definitely retro check that. It's part autopsy, part therapy, part preparation for not making the same mistake twice.
