Discuss the tools and techniques that project managers can use to ensure knowledge and lessons
learned from previous projects are not lost, and can be shared for the benefit of future projects. Everything learned from previous projects, whether they were successes or failures can teach a project manager important lessons. And individual project managers usually do learn from their own previous experiences, but how can these “lessons learned” be shared with others within the project team or within the same organisation? If they are shared, how do other project managers apply the lessons to their own projects?
I think project review should be conducted; it will involve an internal review of project performance, undertaken primarily by the project team as part of the completion phase. The object will be to identify strengths and weaknesses in respect of future projects. In addition, project members should perhaps be rotated to ensure that the “lessons learned” are understood by other staffs as well and can be applied by anyone in the project team to avoid similar issues in the future.
