Project retrospective is done to take some fruitful decisions for improving the future project. The success of an organization is directly linked with the practice of conducting post delivery review after the completion of the project. Evidence based timeline retrospective (EBTR) method is the best way to improve the future projects. Subjective opinion and biased memories can lead to wrong conclusions which in turn make wrong decision in meeting for the future projects. In this report different research study on retrospective review has been highlighted. The features of evidence based retrospective review has been analysed with the help of two case studies.
