Debrief

You and your team did an amazing job holding your event! Here are some tips to to debrief together and reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for next time.

Your debrief is an opportunity for you to sharpen and hone in on your facilitation skills. Take time to regroup with your team and learn from this experience.

Try this out:

Reviewing Team Success
  • How does everyone feel after the event?
  • What were our goals, and do we feel we reached them?
  • Were there any particular moments that stood out to you?
Some suggested frameworks for debriefing:
Plus, Minus, Deltas
  • PLUS - What worked well?
  • MINUS - What could be improved?
  • DELTAS - What are reasonable changes for next time? 
Ask, Add, Affirm
  • Ask - What questions do you have?
  • Add - What else would you have added? 
  • Affirm - What worked well that you can repeat for next time?
Learnings & Feedback
  • What did we discover among the participants during the event that will help to inform what we might do next?, e.g., Feedback showed that all participants were excited about a continued space for discussion.
Identifying and Assigning Next Steps 
  • What are all of the follow-up tasks?
  • Who will take on the tasks? 
  • When will these tasks ideally be completed?
