An After Action Review is a short, facilitated meeting of the project team members (and possibly other stakeholders, including the Project Board) to evaluate and capture lessons learned.
Making these lessons learnt available to the rest of the organisation helps to mitigate against the same mistakes being repeated or ensure that an opportunity spotted or a good practice that emerges in one situation can be used elsewhere. An After Action Review is often used when coming to the end of a project but it may also be used at the transition points between project phases.
