Identify:

  • areas for improvement (e.g. we have been relying too heavily on the project mentor)
  • tangible actions to improve this in the future (e.g. we will be proactive in leading meetings, through setting and circulating agendas and minutes; We will ensure that we identify some solutions to the problems we face before contacting our project mentor)
