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
