Filled-in example

/retro Run a retrospective (a look back after a project) on our summer campaign. Here is what happened and the team's notes: posters went up late, social posts beat goals by 30%, the sign-up form broke for two days, staff liked the weekly check-ins. Sort it into what worked, what didn't, and what to do differently next time. End with 3 specific action items, each with a suggested owner. Keep it blame-free.
