A Lessons Encountered Report documents experiences, observations, and insights from program execution that may benefit future efforts. LERs capture both positive practices and challenges encountered during contract performance.

LER development supports organizational learning and continuous improvement. Understanding LER value helps contractors contribute to knowledge sharing. LER content may inform future acquisitions, proposal development, and program planning.
