Episode 128 – The Best Way To Handle Lessons Learned

With the toll, risk, and sacrifice of a global health crisis, we’re learning new things every day. Wouldn’t it be a shame if we did what we’ve always done – and forgotten them as soon as this is over? What’s the right way to handle our lessons learned?

Lessons have to be studied – properly documented, visited often, and put into practice – until you can truly say ‘you’ve got this’. We frequently hear that those “who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Let’s remember in the days of COVID-19 that we are constantly learning about ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Let us not forgot those lessons by committing to learning from them. Likewise, in Scrum, we can’t just collect feedback and surveys, we owe it to our teams and clients to observe, document, and communicate the education we have earned through adversity.
