The After Action Review is a simple and powerful tool to help a team learn from their experiences in order to gain immediate, concrete improvements in performance. It is a more general and widely useful approach than the retrospection. An "action" is any major or routine activity or event that a team of people undertakes, especially those events that they or other similar teams will likely repeat in the future.

AARs are easy to do. The benefit comes when the team does them consistently, focuses on successfully implementing improvements, and shares lessons with others who could also benefit. Over time, the team learns to trust each other and to think about improvement continuously.

AARs need to be facilitated. This brochure describes the general steps of an AAR.
