From Pilot to Reflection: A 5=5 Method [2 of 3]
I like to "do," which generally takes an action learning form described previously, From Idea to Pilot. By the time I learn through a pilot, it grows into something, pivots or gets abandoned under the ethos of fail often, early. Whichever direction, I stop for reflective learning as described, From Pilot to Reflection, but rarely stop to write up what I learned because a new opportunity for learning already beckons.
If you have seen previous efforts to document learnings... something akin to tomes turned blah-blah posts, it may be clear why I resist the report stage. That said, I have experimented with an iterative design in hacking life and on the off chance, that might accelerate someone else's journey, it seems worthwhile. So this month, I challenge myself to a new report format. Simple. Short. Sweet. and whenever possible visual.
The "report" formula will be a 5<5*:

5 things that I wish someone had told me before I started.
Reports completed in <5% of the time spent on the project.

Keep an eye out for the 5*5 icon to find pilot/prototype posts.
*Thanks to Ian Page for the idea for the 5<5 report format.
