The Value of the Project Retrospective
A project retrospective can add tremendous value to the company in a variety of ways because of the learning it brings. Even with small, nuclear projects that have held regular sprint retrospectives, the project retrospective can consolidate all the experiences from those sprints into a roadmap for subsequent projects.
It can also examine other areas of product development, such as stakeholder management and product design. If there were many change requests during the project, it can indicate that the design process needs strengthening; it can also indicate that the right stakeholders were not engaged, or that their requirements were not understood and translated into relevant user stories.
The overall sentiment of stakeholders towards the finished product can also be reviewed, to determine whether expectations were met, and if not, what can be done to remedy this is future projects.
