Next you will explore common mistakes made in retrospectives and reviews so you can avoid them. Finally you will investigate best practices for conducting both reviews and retrospectives so you can effectively capture and apply insights gained. Upon course completion you will be able to recognize key characteristics and best practices for reflecting on and improving project and process quality.
