After completing a project ahead of schedule, the project was 20% over budget. Evaluate and document the project's successes and failures to improve future projects with "Lessons Learned" or "Project Review" to determine what could have been done differently regarding scope, resources, and schedule, and why: Scope: Clearly define and agree on all requirements before the project begins to avoid unexpected costs and delays. Resources: Contingency Fund of 10% or larger for higher-risk projects. Schedule: Employ fast-tracking and crashing strategies to expedite the project schedule
