Sprint Retrospective Action Items Language Collocations
Practise the standard verbs for tracking sprint retrospective action items to completion.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every retrospective action item in a shared tracker so a good idea raised in the meeting doesn't quietly evaporate afterward.'
We 'capture an item' — the standard, established collocation for recording a retrospective outcome somewhere durable. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Ending a retrospective without assigning owners can ___ every action item forgotten by the time the next sprint starts.'
We say unassigned items will 'leave' the whole list forgotten — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting gap. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a single named owner to each action item, rather than a vague "the team" that nobody actually feels responsible for.'
We 'assign an owner' — the standard, established collocation for giving a task a specific responsible person. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ last sprint's action items at the start of the next retrospective, so an unfinished commitment doesn't just quietly disappear.'
We 'review' items — the standard, simple collocation for revisiting a prior list before moving on. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ an action item explicitly once it's done, rather than letting it sit indefinitely open in a tracker nobody revisits.'
We 'close an item' — the standard, simple collocation for marking a tracked task as complete. The other options are less idiomatic here.
