AAR (After Action Review)

After Action Review

Structured reflection after an event or activity asking what was expected, what occurred, why and what to improve.

Examples

  1. 01After a weekend line relocation, the team holds an AAR: the plan was 48 hours, it took 61, mainly because the crane arrived late.
  2. 02The AAR is held during project closure and its notes are stored with the project file, so the next relocation team can read them.
  3. 03A finding from the AAR, booking cranes with a confirmed backup supplier, is added to the relocation checklist used at all three sites.
