I have yet to find an organization that has figured out how to effectively transfer learned lessons to other projects/employees without retaining those specific people for long periods.
Add in high levels of turnover and unless the specific person who learned the lesson is also on the project, there isn't a clear wrong way to prevent a wrong turn.
I am part of a new team at a startup and everyone on the new team is a relatively new hire. As far as I know, we haven't taken any meaningful learnings. Despite the company existing for years, we have done everything from scratch.
