Keyword: "For the Future". Since the knowledge is not required for other members, at least for now, the best option is to document it first and leverage on documentation later. We learn new things everyday, if everything also ask for training, then the team will not be efficient.

Why would you only train the team members if the knowledge is required now but not in the future?

IMO Lessons learned are different from creating a document about a skill, like an article about a law or a technology. It's more like "That happened, we did X and the output was Y" or share what worked and what did not work. In this case, we are talking about an ability someone have that the other don't. a masterclass and training (we are not talking about stopping the team for a week to make that) can help to share information (that's good in any case) and give good insights about the subject

B. Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team. -> "training session" is not always efficient. Also, the team member may feel pressure. C. Ask the team member to produce a lessons learned document and share it with the team. -> "lessons learned document" is wrong. D. Ask the team member to record highlights the team may want to know. -> Yes, just let him first prepare materials so the team members can refer to them. A training session could be considered if necessary.

B. Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team. This approach aligns with agile principles of collaboration and knowledge sharing, ensuring that the entire team benefits from the expertise of one member and can continue to work effectively and efficiently. Training sessions promote direct interaction and allow for questions and discussions, facilitating better understanding and retention of the knowledge.

Alot of peers says "Future" means next project, but since it is agile, what about the term "future" means next sprint? and it also states that other team memebers likely to use that knowledge. Realistically, just train the other team members in case if those two decided to leave the project in the middle of the project or if the project stops etc. option B is good to go
