Notis

Retrospective Action Items Generator

Retrospectives generate structured action docs automatically - improvements stick, patterns break, cycles improve instead of repeat

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Generate Carbone Report

Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.

Why this helps

Retrospective action items get lost, same problems repeat in next cycle, lessons learned disappear, improvement momentum dies

  • Structured retrospective documentation
  • Action items tracked to completion
  • Pattern breaking visible
  • Continuous improvement, not repetition

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Carbone to Notis
  • 2Ask Notis: 'On retro day each sprint, generate a retrospective template with sections for what went well, what hurt, and committed improvements'
  • 3Notis creates a template your team fills in during retro, then organizes action items for tracking
  • 4Set the schedule to your retro day (e.g., last Friday of sprint) and post the template for your team
  • 5After retro, track action items through next cycle and verify they actually get addressed

Questions about this workflow

Can retro action items stay visible during the sprint?

Yes. Post the retro action items to Linear or your tracking tool so the team sees improvements in progress throughout the sprint.

What if we don't complete a retro action?

The next retro will surface it again. If patterns repeat, escalate the blocker - something is preventing improvement and needs attention.

Can we track which actions actually improved things?

Yes. When generating the next retro, look back at previous action items and note which ones had impact. This shows what actually matters.
