# AI Project Retrospective: Evidence Into Improvements

A retrospective earns its time when the next project runs differently. Gather events, delivery evidence and consented team feedback, then ask AI to identify patterns and open questions. Focus on the process and choose a few actions the team can actually own.

## Your brief

1. Provide the project objective, timeline, agreed scope and actual delivery outcomes. Keep planned and observed dates distinct and include known changes.

   ____________________

2. Summarize team feedback without unnecessary personal identifiers. Label disputed accounts and avoid sharing private performance or employment information.

   ____________________

3. List process constraints, existing safeguards and the next project where improvements could be tried. Identify who can approve a workflow change.

   ____________________

## Prompt

Create a retrospective from [events and feedback]. Use outcomes, what helped, friction, cause hypotheses and improvement actions. Link observations to supplied evidence. Do not infer motives or blame individuals. Separate correlation from cause. Propose at most three actions with an owner, a small trial and a measure to review later. Mark missing information.

## Illustrative example

Illustrative project: copy arrived after layout approval and caused two revision rounds. The evidence supports a dependency problem; it does not prove that the writer was careless. A proposed action is a content-ready checkpoint before layout approval, trialed on the next project with the number of late copy changes recorded.

## Acceptance checks

- [ ] Are observations, disputed accounts and cause hypotheses labeled separately?
- [ ] Does each improvement have an owner, a trial context and a review measure?
- [ ] Does the report address process rather than expose private information or make unsupported judgments about people?

Do not use a retrospective generated from partial notes to decide someone’s employment performance. Validate the record with participants and use appropriate human processes for consequential personnel decisions.
