Task · part of 7. Run a practice search with a team: five parts, in the order the text sets
7(e). AFTER the search: hold a team debriefing
Required Often forgotten
The search itself, the problems, the tactics that worked and the ones that did not, and ideas for improvement. The requirement puts it after the search in its own words.
Notes and warnings
Note. AFTER the search, and it is a team debriefing rather than your own write-up: the problems, the tactics that worked, the ones that did not, and ideas for improvement. Keep the team together for it: people leave quickly once a search is over.
