Keep the ceremony. Aurora Coach carries what comes out of it into the loop, period after period.

Is Aurora Coach a retrospective tool?

No. A retro is one ceremony at one moment. Aurora Coach runs the full continuous improvement loop every period: sense, analyze, recommend, refine, commit, execute, re-evaluate. The retro is a great forum to run parts of that loop, not the whole practice. The analysis spans six domains of team effectiveness, from the human foundations to delivery practice.

Can we keep running retros with Aurora Coach?

Yes. Keep the ceremony if it works. Aurora Coach folds that signal into a grounded analysis and carries the commitments forward, so the work between retros does not fall away.
