Week In Review

A Week In Review is a bookend to the week. You take a few minutes to review and gain perspective - a mini retrospective, done for yourself, without the team. (Done with the team, that’s a retrospective.)

• What went well this week? What didn’t? Any crises?
• What was discovered? Interesting? Confusing?
• Any change in priorities? Risks? Schedules?
• Are there new tasks, stories, etc.? Priority?

You can do this review by “space” - work, personal, home - covering all the areas where you choose to apply some process.

I suggest keeping a weekly journal. Digital or analog. It helps to review the previous weeks’ notes during this exercise.
