Why did we just do that?
It’s a worthwhile question for teams and collaborators to ask, not out of criticism, but out of curiosity.
Did we do what we did on purpose? By accident? Because of tradition or social pressure? To experiment? To understand? To iterate? To test an assumption? To get from A to B? Or for another reason altogether?
Learning how to effectively perform as a team takes practice. We can accelerate that learning by integrating reflection into the practice.
