Episode 98 – Sharing Lessons Learned

Collecting our lessons learned and sharing them with others is a tribal behaviour that predates formal education. Let’s talk about how to apply this in our team practices



In experimental cultures, you are always accumulating learning. Long before the internet and even formal education, we had a tradition of sharing that wisdom among the tribe - at work, we have largely lost that tradition



Learning eventually leads to wisdom; knowledge that guides action



We should always collect, refine, and share our learning



Document your learning often - you can do this in Retrospectives or Reflections



Store, categorize and groom it often



Shared documentation system



Use tags or other metadata



Make it searchable and easy to access



Review it, memorize the stories around it, and share it often
