AAR - After Action Review
The purpose of the AAR is to constantly improve our processes based on our experiences with projects.
Our current process for this is:
- Whole project team gets together after the project has been completed, booking between 1-2 hours.
- Project team ideates with sticky notes on what didn't work on the project, this can be anything from client communication, contractual issues, deliverables, etc.
- The facilitator creates categories of issues based on what he observes is being written down.
- Each team member puts their points on the board and category and gives an overview. No solutions are discussed.
- Everyone votes on what they feel are the most critical issues to avoid next time and fix right away.
- The facilitator takes the most voted issues and arranges them in a row.
- Solutions are discussed and one sticky note per solution is added. Multiple solutions for one issue is fine.
- Next steps to solve issues permanently are done.
- Spend 5-10 mins looking at what went well in the project!
