The After Action Review (AAR) is a quick reflective exercise for team-based learning during a project or ongoing initiative, in order to improve results in the current project. The AAR facilitates team learning from experience; it does not require outside experts. AARs can be very powerful tools for change, especially if they are repeated at major project milestones. They provide data that could be used in an evaluation if there were clear links to the evaluation questions.
