After-Action Review
A one-page After-Action Review (AAR) for turning a finished project, launch, event, or incident into lessons you'll actually use. First name what you're reviewing, then work four sections: What We Expected (the plan and the result you set out to get), What Actually Happened (the real outcome, side by side with the plan), What Worked — and Why (the things to keep doing), and What to Change (each gap turned into a concrete, numbered action for next time). Borrowed from the military and used across engineering, ops, and agile teams, the AAR keeps a retrospective honest and blameful-free by comparing intent with reality rather than hunting for fault. Run it solo or with the team, and print it blank to fill in together.
