The iteration plan contains a section to capture assessment information. A retrospective work item is provided to track
status of retrospective sessions.
Retrospectives are owned by a team lead who uses the description field of the work item and initialize it with the
areas of feedback the component leads are particularly interested in. Team members add comments with their
particular feedback. The team lead often updates the description to summarize that feedback. If the team lead wants to
make sure everyone on the team contributes to the retrospective, he or she can create "approvals" for each team member
as well.
The following table shows the Retrospective work item state machine:
