Straight answer: Sprint Retro Template — a field note from Shriram IT Ventures for engineering and product leads who need decisions, not another framework essay.
Who this is for

Decisions that still look smart in 18 months
Instrument the happy path and the ugly path. Silent failures are what turn a launch into a weekend incident.
Build checklist we actually use

Failure modes we keep seeing
Teams that write trade-offs down before coding burn fewer sprints when a stakeholder changes their mind mid-build. We keep ADRs short on purpose.
How we measure rollout
Teams that write trade-offs down before coding burn fewer sprints when a stakeholder changes their mind mid-build. We keep ADRs short on purpose.
