Narrative:
While approaching the jet bridge in dtw, the marshaller brought us to a stop by crossing his hands. I performed my parking check flow after the engines had been shut down. I then continued with the parking checklist. After the first item on the list, I noticed the aircraft was moving backwards. I alerted the captain and he applied the brakes. We rolled back approximately 10 ft. The aircraft was clear of equipment and ground personnel. There were no injuries and no damage to the aircraft. The aircraft parking brake had not been set and no chocks had been put in place.
