In short, making an evaluation after a project or any kind of activity should be mandatory if you want to improve and develop yourself, your team, your project or to make other to perform better and learn of both the good and the bad things as empirically learning.
Also for teaching, coaching and training this is a strong and easy model to use. Keep it simple. No reason to makes it complicated.
Here is a structure I have learned in my younger days on national approved school and use as my 4-bullet management and educational tools:
-
What went good? 🙂
-
What went less good? 😒
-
What to keep? ♻️
-
What to improve? 🪄
Very often, what went good gives what to keep after some analyzing of why it went good. Hopefully you have most of these 🙂
What went less good is here you focus for development. Find the parts that is easy to change. And find 2-4 items that takes medio and long time to change after analyzing why they went good.
Put them over to what to improve, and how to do it. Make a plan for it. Don’t be blind, and remember to look at your own covered and hidden sides too.
And all in all: You can’t blame the weather, and you cant blame the technical. The technical parts are always as they are due to humans decisions or lack of same.
Happy Evolution 🚀
