You want your team to improve, right? So as soon as a project wraps up, set a time to talk about it. Giving your team an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned is a way to uncover project management lessons which you can apply in the future.
Why even carry out a project debrief, you ask? Internal project debriefs (or post mortem meetings) can be highly effective for agencies because we, strangely enough, learn more after the fact than we do during a project’s execution. But you can learn just as much from your failures as from your successes! The Importance of a Project Debrief Actually, a debrief is great after a small project, a successful project, or even a not-so-successful one! I’ll admit, it can be a bit uncomfortable to sift through a recent project failure.
The debriefing stage is often one that is overlooked but trust me, after a big project, there’s nothing better than conducting some sort of retrospective.
