FAQPage Schema
How do I extract learnings from project phase artifacts like PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md?

To extract learnings from phase artifacts, you parse completed documents like PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, and VERIFICATION.md to identify decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises, then consolidate them into a unified LEARNINGS.md file.

What is the best way to consolidate decisions and patterns from multiple project documents?

The best way to consolidate decisions and patterns from multiple project documents is to synthesize key elements across planning, execution, and verification artifacts, writing them into a single structured reference file for audits and retrospectives.

Can I generate a retrospective digest from STATE.md and UAT.md files?

Yes, you can generate a retrospective digest from STATE.md and UAT.md files by reading and parsing the phase artifacts to capture lessons learned and surprises encountered, enabling teams to synthesize insights across multiple documents.

Does extracting learnings require any specific dependencies or components?

Extracting learnings requires no external dependencies or components, as the process directly reads existing phase artifacts and writes the synthesized insights into a new LEARNINGS.md file without needing additional setup.

When should I consolidate phase artifacts into a unified learnings document?

You should consolidate phase artifacts into a unified learnings document after finishing a project phase, using the extracted insights to inform retrospectives, support knowledge retention, and drive continuous process improvements.
