Facilitate peer learning

Peer learning creates dynamic knowledge exchange opportunities where team members learn from each other's experiences and expertise. Unlike traditional top-down learning, peer-based approaches encourage spontaneous collaboration and creative problem-solving across disciplines.

Implement peer learning through varied formats that match your team's workflow:

• Quick demonstrations work well for sharing tools and techniques, while longer sessions suit complex topics like architecture decisions or user research findings.
• Regular critique sessions help teams align on ongoing work and share perspectives across disciplines.
• Lunch and learn sessions are another great way to make learning social and engaging.
• Workshops are well suited for hands-on, in-depth exploration of specific topics or skills.

Choose formats and schedules that feel natural for your team's size and working style. Designate specific times for learning sessions, but remain flexible as projects evolve. Encourage participation by recognizing knowledge sharing contributions and creating psychological safety for questions and discussion.
