How to do 1 hour project lessons learned session - sharing

Speed Session: Unlocking the Power of Project Lessons in 1 HourYou have 1 hour of time with your team to create project lessons learned.

So much work together and now you need to think back, reflect and learn about it. How do you do this?

Here is a simple working session setup that will help you achieve this in 1 hour time (feel free to adapt it, take more time, and so on - I had only 1 hour so I thought to share with you what I did):

🎲 Check-in: White 3 words that come to your mind about our project

🎲 Wind & Sun: Share:how the wind helped us forwardhow the sun made us feel good

🎲Hold us back: Share what was holding us back on the way

🎲 Use the Learning Card from Strategyzer and share observations, learnings, and decisions. I love this card because it is helping people to think deeply about their journey lessons and bring it as well to tangible decisions and action steps.

🎲 Personal action points: What will I do out of these learnings? We want that every person from this team has a personal action point out of this learning session, in order for them to commit on their personal takeaway.

If you want to check out the Learning Card from Strategyzer, here is the link where you can download it from: https://www.strategyzer.com/resources/canvas-tools-guides/the-learning-card

One of the other cards I am using very often from Strategyzer is the Test Card, for which I wrote an entire article and a real use case here: https://teamflow.substack.com/p/7-steps-to-turn-ideas-into-reality

I wanted to share my way of handling this session and I am here in case you have questions.
