# What's a Good Way to Run Post-Project Reviews and Capture Lessons?

A good way is to trigger a short review when a project closes, collecting results, budget versus actual, client feedback, and lessons from the team in a form, and to turn repeated lessons into changes in templates or processes. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms**, **Tasks**, and a lessons **table**.

Projects end and the team moves directly to the next one. Without a pause to learn, the same problems return, and good practices stay with the few who noticed them.

## What skipped reviews cost

- Mistakes repeating from one project to the next
- Good practices not shared with the rest of the team
- No evidence to improve estimates and pricing
- Clients not asked what they thought when it is still fresh

## How post-project reviews work

- Closing a project triggers a **review** form
- It compares planned and actual hours, budget, and dates
- The team and the client add feedback and lessons
- Repeated lessons create tasks to update templates

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Learning becomes part of the normal process
- Estimates improve with real data
- Templates evolve based on lessons
- This scales from a few projects to a large agency

| Projects close with no review | Structured post-project review |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Same mistakes repeat          | Lessons captured and applied   |
