Postproject review as a source for improvement proposals

Looking for improvement potentials in the software development has become natural in many organizations. But how can the focus be expanded beyond the software engineering processes, taking also organizational aspects into account? We describe a possibility to conclude the lessons learnt in a project by use of a Postproject review instead of a software process assessment. We have developed a simple approach, which is a mixture between data evaluation and brainstorming sessions. The main results of the Postproject review are "low hanging fruits", improvements which can easily be implemented (with lowest effort), and on the other hand, improvements which need further detailed actions and appropriate effort for the implementation.
