PMMP 20008 – Initiating and Planning Projects Assignment 3
1. INTRODUCTION
Project management process is a progressive revolutionary approach used to control and
monitor any project and to make sure that it is running as per the expectation of the executives
and clients (Ghafoor et al., 2019). The reflective practice is applied by the team members of
different projects from their previous learning and experiences. Reflective learning process
helps the project team members to avoid future mistakes and make a project successful.
Reflective learning is helpful in professional growth and improvement.
Lesson learned practice can be defined as a theory that individual team members should apply
during real time implementation of any project (Chaves et al., 2016). These lessons can be
learnt from project management course sessions and previous experiences. There is no specific
time for learning therefore, it is continuous improvement practice.
The lesson learnt framework contains multi-genre situation those I have faced throughout my
PPMP20008 course session. I recognized that every time the situation will not deal in my fever
sometimes it may create challenges to me as well. The below sections demonstrates some of
those situational challenges I faced. In order to overcome those situations what respective
improvement strategies have been adopted and applied are illustrated in the contains of the
assignment.
2 LESSONS LEARNT:
2.1 Lessons learnt framework explained
A well organized lesson learnt framework helps a project supervisor or professional project
associate to manage any project even in complex situation. A lesson learnt framework is
comprises of five basic stages in terms of identification, documentation, analysis, storage and
retrieval (Martens & Carvalho, 2017). During the course of PPMP20008 at first the study
materials are collected and then those are respectively documented in details. During analysis I
have learnt about the different knowledge areas. I feel each of the knowledge area should be
maintained during real time project development life cycle to complete it in time and budget.
While I will be assigned in a project at first I have to understand the project aims, goals and
objectives. After that I will prepare the project scope statement based on the requirement
details. The project scope must be shared among the other members as well for future
awareness and maintenance. Then the project schedule, budget, resource, communication plan,
quality management strategies will be developed. These details are presented in the project
charter. Once, the project supervisor will approve the project charter the project will initiate.
