A retrospective review — the habit of pausing to look back at how a project, plan, or situation unfolded before moving forward. Originally a formal Agile ceremony where teams evaluate what worked, what didn't, and what to change next sprint, the retro check has bled into casual usage as a vibe audit on any completed experience. Had a weird weekend? Run a retro check. Finished a situationship? Definitely retro check that. It's part autopsy, part therapy, part preparation for not making the same mistake twice.
Before we start the next campaign, let's do a retro check on what tanked our engagement last month.
