This project lessons learnt:
This project lessons learnt template can be used to record all aspects, impacts, and experiences of a project, which could then be used to identify actions and recommendations for existing and future projects.
Documenting lessons learned during and after a project has been completed can prevent a repeat of unwanted outcomes and build on project successes. By not learning from project failures a business can be doomed to repeat similar situations and by not maximising project successes, management can miss opportunities to successfully complete existing and future work.
Learning occurs on every project we work on, as we learn from our own experiences as well as the experiences of others. Project lessons can help project teams avoid making the same mistakes and can help teams learn from their successes.
There are a few things to keep in mind when documenting project lessons including:
Note: Make sure to document lessons learnt as soon as possible after the event, so they are not forgotten.
It is worth remembering that documenting lessons learned can help improve communication between project review team members and between different project planning departments within an organization too.
Note: Project learning is never complete, as there will always be an opportunity for a lesson learned process in project management.
