About this template

Strategy reviews that only recount results teach nothing; the learning lives in the comparison — what we believed versus what happened, and which assumption broke. This self-assessment scores five retrospective dimensions per planning cycle, forcing the before/after contrast into writing. The AI report extracts the transferable lessons and the one process change they imply. Honest retrospectives are how strategy quality compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should this retrospective be run?
At the end of each planning cycle — annual strategies quarterly, quarterly plans at close — while memory and numbers are fresh.
Who answers — leadership or the whole team?
Both, per dimension; the gap between intent-side and execution-side answers is usually where the lesson lives.
What makes it different from a results review?
The before/after discipline: every scored outcome is paired against the written intent and assumption, so causality gets tested, not narrated.
What does the AI report produce?
A dimension-by-dimension contrast, the broken assumption with the highest cost, and one concrete process change for the next cycle.
Is a bad score a problem for the team?
No — the instrument rewards honest retrospection; teams fear retrospectives only where they feed performance judgement.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Click Use This Template to copy the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace for free, then customize and share it.
