Talk:Technical decision making/Technical Decision-Making Process Retrospective and Consultation plan

Why "retro"?
Ironically, if the goal is to bring in as many contributors as possible, etc., use of jargon like "retro" might be a mistake. I know it's short for "retrospective", but beyond that I had never heard of this term being used in a business/management context. I looked it up, and apparently it's an Agile management term, used to refer to discussions about just-completed tasks - like a "post-mortem" but shorter-term, maybe. I'm not even sure if that concept applies here - obviously, discussions about what worked and didn't work in the past are relevant, but that's not the only thing that's relevant. Why not just call it a "discussion", or something along those lines? Yaron Koren (talk) 18:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I changed the one instance of "retro" on that page to "retrospective". We could probably come up with a couple sentences explaining what "retrospective" refers to, for people who are not familiar with the term. KHarlan (WMF) (talk) 18:38, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
