Post-Job Review Meeting Agenda

In Luke Matelan’s work with hundreds of subs, the post-job review process is the most overlooked and underused. After a year or two years on a job, it’s easy to wipe your hands clean and get started on the new shiny object (the next job). However, if you want to improve performance, you need to systematically pull lessons from each project into your next job. This post-job review meeting agenda will help you do exactly that.
