After action review matrix questions text boxes

Description:

The image shows a slide titled "After Action Review Matrix Questions Text Boxes," which is a template for an After Action Review (AAR) process. The AAR is a structured review or debrief used for analyzing what happened, why it happened, and how it can be done better by the participants and those responsible for the project or event.

There are four text boxes in the image, each representing a question central to the After Action Review process:

1. "What Was Supposed To Happen?": 

This box is meant for listing the objectives and plans that were in place prior to the action or event. It's essential for setting the context of what was expected.

2. "What Actually Happened?": 

Here, the actual outcomes and events are documented. It contrasts with previous expectations, sometimes leading to valuable insights.

3. "What Can We Learn From This?": 

This box encourages reflection and identification of lessons learned, which can inform future actions and decisions.

4. "Why Was There A Difference?": 

This is the analytical core of the AAR process, examining the reasons for discrepancies between planned and actual outcomes, and exploring both the successes and shortcomings.
