They outlined a number of things that needed to be attended to in the next cycle, and that file was, well, filed. It was an intensely frustrating experience, and I always wonder why it ends up being called "lessons learned". Obviously, yes, they are lessons, but I haven't seen any evidence of them actually being learned. Hi Jon! A little while ago we had a “lessons learned” session following a development project.
