Rapid After Action Review (RAAR) Template

Rapid After-Action Review (RAAR) is a quick and easy exercise in collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) that teams can build into everyday work processes. A RAAR is a 1-hour facilitated discussion with a simple, structured note-taking template designed to help a team not only pause and reflect, but also prioritize specific management actions and timeframes to make change.

Create a copy of the Google doc or Word template for your RAAR and fill in your specific information. Read through the instructions (provided in the template) and think about how best to facilitate the group. If using Google or another online collaborative platform, it may be useful to share the document in advance.
