Title: What is a Project Retrospective?


1
What is a Project Retrospective?
  • A retrospective is an opportunity for the
    participants to learn how to improve. The focus
    is on learningnot fault-finding.
  • Norm Kerth

2
Why retrospectives?
  • Learning and development do not necessarily occur
    as a result of the experience itself but as a
    result of reflection explicitly designed to
    foster learning and development. B. Jacoby
  • For many of the team members, this will be the
    first time they consciously think about the
    processes they use. N. Kerth
  • wisdom comes from our ability to understand the
    relationship between an individuals work and
    that of the entire team. I have seen whole-team
    reflection explain, discover, and teach so much.
    I believe that there is no better way to improve
    a teams performance and quality. N. Kerth

Reflect and find a better way
  • Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now,
    bump, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head,
    behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he
    knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but
    sometimes he feels that there is another way, if
    only he could stop bumping for a moment and
    think of it.
  • A. A. Milne
  • Winnie the Pooh

The purpose of a retrospective is learning, which
allows a team to
  • correct (sometimes recurring) mistakes
  • gather data for overall assessment
  • create more accurate complete reports
  • prepare for future projects
  • identify and document lessons learned
  • build a better sense of community
