Repeat the above process till all the cards are exhausted from both columns

If any action items arise, the Scrum Master makes a note in “Action Items” column with the owner assigned and next steps are identified

If time runs out before all cards are discussed, then remaining cards are moved to next retrospective in agile hr session
