Course Description

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” –Albert Einstein

Today’s companies are increasingly projectized. Valuable education and experience is achieved with each project undertaken by an organization. However, those experiences are often lost and not leveraged to improve future projects of the organization.

By definition, a project is a temporary endeavor. Once it is over the team is usually assigned to other projects, and all of the lessons learned go with them. It is the project manager’s responsibility to collect this valuable information and archive it in order for it to be leveraged in similar projects.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Recognize the importance of gathering and implementing valuable knowledge to be reused for the betterment of future project success
• Identify project-life-cycle phases in which Lessons Learned are gathered and implemented
• Specify the importance of timing in gathering Lessons Learned
• Build Lessons Learned knowledge sources that can be effectively utilized for future projects
