Great advice. I also use learning milestones to manage our novelty budget and record our findings/decisions/context/etc. I don't know if this is formalized or written down anywhere.

The idea is that when your team wants to try something and learn from it you record down your thoughts and ideas into a document. You then have a triggering condition in that document for when to review it later. When you do the review you record what you learned and what decisions you make as a result.

Over time your teams build up little libraries of these learnings and it can help build organizational continuity. People come and go, leaving teams or the company, joining other teams, etc. It's a good practice to avoid having to re-transmit what your organization has learned through re-telling folk-lore.
