Read the full article

Agile software development methods, such as Extreme Programming, focus on informal learning mechanisms like pair programming. Yet powerful methods, new knowledge that is gained in a project will not spread rapidly in an organisation if knowledge and experience is not externalised. We propose to combine a lightweight externalisation method: postmortem reviews with agile methods to strengthen the overall learning, and suggest how this can be done. We use practical experience from an Extreme Programming development project, and from conducting postmortem analysis in several companies in our discussion.

Keywords: Agile Development Methods, Extreme Programming, Postmortem reviews, Knowledge Management, Experience Elicitation.
