Try emailing debriefs
On heavy meeting days, when you absolutely have no time for debriefs, try having your team email them to you. I don't prefer this method, but it can help. The general format I use for those emails is:

  • I want to know about what you tested.

  • I want to know how you felt about your testing.

  • I want to know what follow up you've done.

  • I want to know how long it all took.

Consistent wording
I keep my ET charters in a distinct folder from other project materials. I use pretty consistent keywords in the notes I record. When I want to find tests or issues from the past, I run searches on the folder.
