Post-Close Retrospective Facilitator
Prompt
Close target and actual finish: {{TARGET_VS_ACTUAL}}
What went wrong or took longer than planned: {{PROBLEMS}}
What worked: {{WHAT_WORKED}}
Team size and systems: {{TEAM_AND_SYSTEMS}}
1. Group the problems into root causes (late inputs from other teams, manual processes, unclear ownership, system limits, review bottlenecks, errors found late) and say which are within finance's control.
2. For each cause, suggest one small change we could test next month, how we would know it worked, and who should own it.
3. Draft five questions to ask in the meeting that would surface causes I haven't listed.
4. Produce a one-paragraph note for the team that thanks them specifically and states the two changes we'll try.
Rules: don't invent timings or statistics. Base everything on what I listed, mark assumptions clearly, and keep each suggestion small enough to try within one month.
