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
