PlainReads — Lessons Learned Record
https://plainreads.com/blog/lessons-learned-template

Use one record for one meaningful lesson. Keep sensitive evidence in an
approved location. Distinguish observation from interpretation.

Project:
Review date:
Participants:

1. Expected outcome
What did we intend to happen?

2. Observed outcome
What actually happened? Use observable events, not personal labels.

3. Evidence and limits
Which records support the observation? What remains unknown?

4. Explanation to examine
What condition may have contributed? What other explanations remain possible?

5. Proposed change
What specific action, practice, or decision rule will change?

6. Owner and timing
Who has agreed to implement the change? By when, or before which event?

7. Verification
Where will we check implementation? How will we assess usefulness?

Status: Agreed / Applied / Reviewed
Review outcome: Keep / Adjust / Stop
Reason and evidence:

A template change proves implementation, not impact. Check the next relevant
occurrence before claiming the lesson improved the outcome.
