  1. What is a Project Retrospective? A retrospective is an opportunity for the participants to learn how to improve. The focus is on learning—not 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 individual’s 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 team’s performance and quality. N. Kerth

  3. 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

  4. 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
