Lessons Learned
As a learning organization, NASA maintains lessons learned systems to share stories gained through experience that can benefit the work of others. The agency uses these program or project events and the lessons learned that result to improve our training, best practices, policies and procedures.
From Collection to Application, how this vital process makes NASA stronger.
This clear, concise page explains the lessons learned lifecycle, and the criteria NASA established to identify and highlight lessons learned, agency wide. Learn the four phases of the lessons learned lifecycle, the process by which the agency documents and reinforces this information, and why it is so important to share this crucial information with other NASA teams.
Spotlight on Lessons Learned is a series of articles featuring a valuable lesson along with perspective from a NASA technical expert on why the lesson is important.
