へようこそ ビジネス英語ポッド 今日のレッスン プロジェクト管理英語 for debriefing a project with your team.

プロジェクト管理 can be a messy business. You can plan, but you can’t really predict all the challenges and obstacles that will come up. So on every project, and especially in agile project management, you have to learn and adapt as you go along. And at the end, it’s a good idea to discuss what you’ve learned in a project debrief meeting. If you’re following an agile approach, you might also hold sprint retrospectives, which are like mini-debriefs at the end of each sprint. Whether it’s a project debrief or one of these sprint retrospectives, you’ll cover similar topics.

A project debrief meeting might start out with a review of the project goals. You want to look back and see what you set out to do in the first place. Then you can talk about successes during the project. What did you do well? What would you do again? そこから, you can move on to discuss mistakes, and what you’d like to change in the future. そして最後に, you’ll want to summarize everything that you’ve learned. The whole idea, もちろん, is that you’ll be able to do things better next time.
