Explanation

The standard Retrospective format, as defined by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen in 'Agile Retrospectives,' follows five sequential phases: (1) Set the stage - create a safe environment; (2) Gather data - collect facts and feelings; (3) Generate Insights - identify root causes; (4) Decide on what to do - agree on actionable improvements; (5) Close the Retrospective - summarize and appreciate. This order ensures insights are grounded in data before decisions are made.
