Welcome to the Lessons Learned wiki. This is where we document what went wrong, what went right, and what we'll never do again.
Why a wiki?
A chronological blog doesn't make sense for institutional knowledge. Issues repeat. Having a searchable, cross-linked wiki means we can find the fix faster next time.
