Lessons Learned allows you to capture action-oriented lessons learned not just at the end of the project but throughout the entire project delivery process.
Categorize and roll up lessons learned to the project and portfolio, convert Issues into Lessons Learned with one click, and assign Action Items and Decisions to Lessons Learned to ensure you act on lessons and continuously improve your delivery.

Importance: The importance this risk has on the project.
State: Used to track what state the lesson is in.
