Doing your project solo or in a small team and need a simple way to reflect, learn, and actually make it work?

Here’s a free and very simple (really — very simple) tool to pause, look back, and learn from what you’ve just done before moving forward.

Inspired by the Sprint Retrospective from Scrum, but adapted for micro-initiatives.

Stripped of unnecessary complexity.

Use it after any project, campaign, or creative effort to see what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ll do differently next time.

If you want to understand how it works in practice, check out our blog post:How to Run a One-Person Project Retrospective.
