I think it depends on the culture, as a Latin American, I have seen people like others to share their lesson learned by telling their experience, and it is almost sure than other project managers are going to ask again when they need the information.

What do you think? Is it useful to write them down?

If you wait until the end of the project to engage in a lessons learned discussion, you risk missing out on forgotten details or risk that the emphasis will be on emotionally charged issues that should have been dealt with earlier in the project. You should be having these discussions at the end of each stage of the project. It can be a simple as an email, or it can be a formal meeting with a list of questions as discussion points.

When you get feedback, identify if there is anything that needs immediate action.

I'm currently running an SAP project with three test cycles. At the end of the first test cycle, I sent out an email asking for lessons learned. I didn't get a lot of feedback, but some of it will be applied in the test cycle that just started.

Aaron, I have +10 SAP implementation experience, usually, people don't like to answer lessons learned mail with an attached excel.

My recommendation is a small 30 minutes gathering meeting, where you can explain the importance of the lessons learned for the next phases.
