Narrative:

After push back was complete; the push back crew stopped our aircraft and asked us to set parking brake. I reached down and pulled the parking brake handle up; while also pressing the brake pedal. I reported over the headset to the ground crew that the parking brake was set. Moments later; the ground crew reported the aircraft was rolling forward. At the same time; I noticed the aircraft was rolling as well. The ground crew called us over the headset to advise us; at which point I stopped the aircraft roll and reset the parking brake. The aircraft rolled about 10 feet. I asked if everyone was okay and if there was any damage. The report back from the ground crew was that everyone was safe and there was no damage. We continued with our flight at the point. Big takeaway here is that we need to always look to verify that the parking brake light is indeed on; thus verifying the parking brake is in fact set. I cannot honestly say if I checked for the light or not.
