Run a Project Retrospective That Changes Something
Retrospectives that produce long lists of observations rarely produce change. The ones that produce change end with a single decision: one thing to do differently, one owner, and a date to review whether it worked. This designs a sixty-minute retrospective structured around four questions that converge on that single decision rather than a sprawl of good intentions.

1. The pre-meeting preparation: what to ask participants to bring to ensure the conversation is grounded in specifics
2. The structure: four questions to cover in sequence, with time allocations for a [sixty-minute] session
3. The convergence technique: how to move from a list of observations to one prioritised change
4. The output format: a single decision record that states the change, who owns it, and when it will be reviewed
