I enjoyed catching up with several of you and sharing this day together

# data[].attributes.body
A lot more clarity on the project, what's in the near future, what's in the more distant future

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing colleagues irl and honesty in conversation

# data[].attributes.body
as a virtual participant, i think this well organized and that those online were included very well

# data[].attributes.body
Conversations with different team members and various group sizes.

# data[].attributes.body
Appreciated all of the small chances to chat with teammates in an informal way to improve our projects and way we work together.

More time for interaction - less up front talking at the group. This got much better as the day went on.

# data[].attributes.body
Connecting in-person! & Open space for feedback

# data[].attributes.body
I felt I could have used more context for the final session of feedback - more detail on how you got to those categories

# data[].attributes.body
seeing others in person!!

# data[].attributes.body
Not so much questions as making sure we find/make the space to continue the conversations

# data[].attributes.body
How and when will retreat feedback be actionized

# data[].attributes.body
We're 3.5 years into DEVELOP and we've done a lot of good work, but how are doing with respect to our major goals?

# data[].attributes.body
The space to come together in-person and be solution-focused when looking at how we move into the last year of the contract.

# data[].attributes.body
How to create more time for these discussions!

# data[].attributes.body
Less words on slides ;)

# data[].attributes.body
More time + have more clarity on work plans in order to more specifically inform discussions

How does the client rate/feel about our work?

# data[].attributes.body
More focus on concrete steps and specific roles in terms of following up on and implementing solutions to issues that were discussed.

Having the PCs assisting with food and tech does not allow them to fully participate in the retreat, maybe get outside DEVELOP assistance if possible
