Frequently Asked Questions about retrospective

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a post-ship retrospective document for a launched feature?

Yes, artifact lineage tracing automatically follows the chain of documents from PRD to launch. By analyzing the linked PRD, RFC, QA reports, and launch briefs, the retrospective connects feature performance insights directly back to your original product requirements.

What's the best way to evaluate success metrics during a post-mortem?

Evaluating success metrics during a post-mortem involves assessing feature performance against metrics defined in your original artifacts. This Skill automates that evaluation by cross-referencing launch briefs and PRDs to identify what went well and capture actionable lessons for future projects.

Do I need artifact validation scripts to run a project retrospective?

Yes, artifact validation scripts are required dependencies for quality assurance when running a retrospective. These scripts ensure the integrity of the PRD, RFC, and QA report inputs before the Skill generates the final post-ship retrospective document.

How do I capture lessons learned for continuous improvement after deployment?

To capture lessons learned for continuous improvement, the Skill analyzes post-ship artifacts to identify and record actionable insights. It evaluates what went well and what didn't, detailing project execution outcomes to ensure future projects benefit from past performance.
