1After we finished the mobile app project, I organised a retrospective meeting.

2The purpose was to discuss what went well and what we could improve.

3I asked everyone to write their thoughts on small cards before the meeting.

4Some team members felt that our daily meetings were too long and unfocused.

5Others said the testing phase had started much later than it should have.

6We spent an hour grouping the cards and discussing the main problems.

7Then we voted on the three issues that mattered most to the team.

8For each issue, we agreed on one concrete action with a clear owner.

9I wrote everything on a shared document so nobody would forget the decisions.

10Three months later, our meetings are shorter and testing begins much earlier.

11A good retrospective is not about blaming people but about learning together.
