“Sharing knowledge in a systematic format, documenting lessons-learned, and ensuring frequent communication will maximize project success factors.”

Overview

Whether managing one project or a group of Project Managers who manage multiple projects, the value of lessons-learned sharing and communication should not be undervalued. It can be the difference between total project success and missing key milestones and project delay.

A large number of Project Managers operate in an industry where the projects they manage will have similar components and attributes as previously managed projects (i.e. IT, construction, telecommunications, etc.).

Therefore, although the exact project with all its attributes may not be repeated, the lessons-learned documentation and communication should occur. It may well save the next project or another project manager’s position for that matter.
