Requiring a project team to report on the lessons learned is very important for many different reasons. Firstly, it’s essential for project teams to learn from their experiences so that members can perform better in future projects. Future projects will only run more efficiently if individuals on a project team learn from their mistakes and find out how they could’ve worked better on the project. In my opinion, everything that you do in life is a learning experience. Even if you succeed at something, you can always find a way to do it better the next time up until you reached perfection. Furthermore, it’s important for project members to learn how to work better as a team so requiring them to report on lessons will allow them to reflect on their experiences with each other to see where the problems were, if any, and how they could be avoided next time. Not only is it important to learn about how to do the work efficiently, but understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses is vital to a successful performance. Some of the lessons that could be reported would be: to start your project earlier if it’s possible because starting early is always better than starting later; what type of people did the project need and who wasn’t needed. It’s in your best interest to get a head start on your work so that you are better prepared t deal with problems later on. Time is a crucial factor because everything has a deadline. Time pressure can make work very stressful. Starting things early will save you a lot of stress down the road. A project manager may look pass logging lessons if he/she feels that the lesson is very basic and something that is easily understood. Also, the project could’ve been very successful and there may have been flaws in the process but were unavoidable for some reason.
