	~~=== Project Retrospective ===~~
	A project retrospective is held at the end of a development sprint as part of the agile process. It can also be held by project teams not following the agile methodology. It is a meeting where the purpose is for the project team to provide feedback on what went well and what didn’t go as well during the course of the project. Qualitative feedback is given on sticky notes in the form of Happy / Sad / Angry or Start / Stop / Continue - as examples, and clustered to identify themes. The themes are used to improve the work process going forward to the next cycle or phase of the project.
