New product development is the engine of competitiveness in the automotive industry. Beyond the technical content, the success of a project is significantly influenced by management performance, procedures, and teamwork. Lessons learned within a project and between projects can reduce efforts, development time, and costs. This knowledge sharing contributes to company-level sustainability of success by preventing the reoccurrence of mistakes and errors. 105 experts filled a voluntary online survey about their opinion about lessons learned. Two-third of the respondents use any form of lessons learned. Shared files are evaluated as the most useful way of managing the information flow, followed by targeted databases. Cluster analysis explored three utilization patterns of lessons learned. A minority of the experts found that managing lessons learned are problematic to feasible, but they are the source of information. Next to them, an active and inactive user group is identified.
