Abstract

Project management is a dynamic field that requires continuous improvement to meet the evolving needs of clients, stakeholders and the broader market. One effective tool for continuous improvement in project management is retrospective meetings, which are held at the end of projects to reflect on the project's successes and challenges. This article will explore the key activities, inputs, and outputs of retrospective meetings and highlights the benefits and limitations of this approach. The article will also outline the role that retrospective meetings play in continuous improvement and provide guidelines on how their impact on future projects can be measured. By analyzing the structure and purpose of retrospective meetings, this article will represent a comprehensive guide to improving project management practices and promoting continuous improvement within organizations.
