The aim of debriefings is to preserve the knowledge and experience gained in a project even after the project has ended and to make it available to teams that are not involved.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) in Magdeburg has developed the debriefing method for collecting, structuring, condensing and securing project experiences.
Debriefing workshops or meetings focus on what lessons learned from completed projects can be used in the future.
Debriefings are an effective and efficient way to sustainably retain and reuse knowledge. With consistent application of the method, improved performance of future projects can be achieved.
