+# Retrospective
+
+## Stop Doing
+
+- Waiting until the last minute to merge code, this caused avoidable conflicts.
+
+- Using group chats to track tasks instead of a shared task board (led to confusion).
+
+## Continue Doing
+
+- Writing post-commit messages to explain major changes in GitHub.
+
+## Start Doing
+
+- When a branch has been merged and no longer needed, we should to delete it
+to make everything neat.
+
+- Always update the project board, and review available pull requests.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+- Group success depends more on communication than technical skill alone.
+
+- Developed better time management skills by respecting deadlines and the
+schedules of team members.
