title: Capture lessons and plan for improvements
acode: E3
---

It's a good idea to pause, reflect on the previous week, and see what you've learned from it that can help you have a better project next week. 

1:: What can we do better next week regarding the way we work?
3:: What can we do better next week for creating the project output?
2:: What can we do better next week to move faster towards the project goal?
4:: What can we do better next week to address user needs and expectations?

The improvement plans should be added to the *Integrated Project Board*, the sequence of cards revised, and a *custodian* appointed to each new card.

We don't wait for the end of the project to capture lessons learned, but rather capture the relevant information on the *Integrated Project Board* as comments on the cards, and those cards act as lessons learned when they are closed. However, it's a good idea to look for extra lessons in this activity.

1:: Which closed cards on the Integrated Project Board contain significant lessons?
1:: Have we learned anything new that is not yet reflected on the board?

If there are any missing lessons, they should be captured either as comments on existing relevant cards or as closed, standalone cards on the *Integrated Project Board*. All recently closed cards that contain a significant lesson should be marked to make it easier to find them in the future.
