Retrospective is an agile term but can be used by any team who wants to improve how they work together. The goal of a retrospective is to improve team communication and processes.


In this retrospective, team members identify what they loved, lacked, learned, and longed for in a project or sprint of work. Using this simple framework, reflect back on your work and use what you've learned to improve as a team.
