One method is to ask for Plus/Delta's.  Plus' are things people thought went
well or they appreciated.  Deltas are things they would change. This
includes what was not done, could be done more of or less of, etc.  I do
this in meetings and 5 minutes is almost always enough. I draw a line down
the middle  of the page and write a Plus sign on one side and a triangle
(the Greek letter Delta) on the other.
