Agree, but I would suggest for the tracking to be available from the very begining... Even at Project Charter creation...

Just at phase gate?
Should phase gate be a time to review if any lessons learned have been miss?

One thing is for sure, never wait until the end of the project so start compiling your lessons learned...Lessons learned should be pen downed as and when something deters the original plan and should be discussed in the project meeting as well have track sheet for lesson learned in place
Sound like a good practice
review after each phase
Is it publish, made available for all projects?
Sincerely, It worked perfectly.
We used an excel format in a Sharepoint platform, in a folder accessible to all project managers. In case one lesson learned needs more documentation, or pictures, where included in a word document completely linked.
The excel file had different key fields, as project name, year and country.
I would like to also add, that before that amazing practice, I worked in a company that Lessons Learned was an excel file that was populated to all team and nobody wants to fill.

There should be provisions for "Lessons Learned" from the onset of the project and having a standardized reporting frequency is nice. It doesn't matter how often or when, as long as everyone is in agreement, know what and where it is. However, should something come up that should be shared with the teams, we should be flexible and not be gung-ho about our established protocols. For every rule, there is always an exception.
