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. Retro themes are useful input, not the whole 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.
