- Decide what action should be taken next in similar situations.
The discussions should typically cover:
- What happened and why;

- What development issues occurred that require improvement;
- What lessons can be learned from the experience for the next project.

By formalizing the way this knowledge is extracted and recorded, it can readily be made available to colleagues and other organizations facing similar challenges. AAR therefore provides a simple and quick way of making an informed decision about how to approach the next project or study.
