The meeting where you blame the process instead of each other, politely.
means A look back at something past — an exhibition, review, or diagnosis — taken as a whole, after it's finished.
from From Latin retrospicere, 'to look back' — retro ('backward') plus specere ('to look, to behold'), the same root that gives us 'spectacle' and 'inspect.' The word entered English in the 1600s meaning simply backward-looking, and only later picked up its modern double life: an artist's career hung on gallery walls, or a team's sprint hung out to dry in a conference room.
