Integration with Retrospectives

Reviews and retrospectives work together for continuous improvement:

Review (Proactive):

• "I scanned {domain} and found these issues"
• Identifies patterns, trends, violations
• Feeds findings to retrospectives

Retrospective (Reactive):

• "That failure happened because of X"
• Root cause analysis
• Feeds prevention strategies to reviews

Continuous Improvement Cycle:

Review Findings
    ↓
Identify Root Causes (Retrospective)
    ↓
Implement Prevention
    ↓
Update Playbooks/Automation
    ↓
Update Review Criteria
    ↓
Next Review (with better focus)

Example Integration:

Q1 Review: Found {N} instances of {anti-pattern}
Q1 Retrospective: Analyzed why {anti-pattern} occurred
Q1 Action: Created {automation} to detect/prevent
Q2 Review: {Anti-pattern} instances reduced to 0
Q2 Outcome: Pattern successfully eliminated
