Question

---

NOTE: The work you do on this question should be included in your Project Management Portfolio. This is the last component of the Project Management Portfolio

This activity concludes your Project Management knowledge by looking at how projects are closed. Throughout each phase, lessons are learned and opportunities for improvement are discovered. In order to continuously improve the success of projects, documenting the lessons learned helps a project team to identify the causes of problems that occurred and avoid them in later projects.

The objective of a Lessons Learned Report is to collect all the relevant information. Look at the lecture slides from Topic 6 to refresh your memory.

Write a Lessons Learned Report for a project you have worked on. This project could be:

1. An assignment you have done for this unit
2. An assignment you have done for any other unit
3. Any project you are able to report on.

Your Lessons Learned Report should include the following sections:

1. Introduction

• Briefly describe the project.

2. Achievement of scope and time constraints

• Discuss whether the project met scope and time constraints. That is, were you able to do everything that was planned, and finish/submit on time?

3. What went right?

• Describe one example of what went right on this project.

4. What went wrong?

• Describe one example of what went wrong on this project.

5. Lessons learned

• Briefly discuss what the main lessons you learned from this project were. This should include both in terms of managing the project, and in terms of skills that may be useful to you in the future.

6. Implications for the Poster Presentation project

• Discuss what you will you do differently on the Poster Presentation project based on your experiences with this and other projects.
