This is a helpful space for summarizing ROI achieved relative to what was invested. This type of document may prove invaluable in the future when you're seeking to understand what has been tried and why decisions were made. Having the entire team align around this summary can also make it easier to optimize future projects, accelerate learning, and set a new course.
