April Retrospective

Each month, the Training team works in Sprints. These are goals we hope to accomplish for that month. At the end of the month, we conduct a retrospective by asking ourselves a few questions. For reference, here is last month’s retrospective: March 2022 Retrospective.

We will publish the retrospective post for April in early May. For convenience, the contributor responses to the retrospective questions in Slack are linked below:
