Lessons Learned – the Case Study
Much has been written about collecting lessons learned in projects. On the one hand, project management standards provide guidelines and examples of such activities. On the other hand, even the Agile world has focused on collecting and implementing improvements (for example in the form of retrospectives in Scrum) from the very beginning of its “existence”. And while the Scrum teams often use the retrospective, on large projects it is a bit like a “square peg in a round hole” and is primarily done at the very end of the project (only because it is required by the project closure documentation).
