Introduction
After successful completion of the course work PPMP20008 , I have
realized that I have obtained details guidelines on project management
prcatices and its application in the practical field. I have also realized
that if all of theses aspects are properly adopted then both the
businesses and the personnel will be able to grow their carrier
accordingly.
I think that, it will help me to gain competitive skills and knowledge from
the learning. It is also necessary to possess SMART objectives in
terms of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound
aspects so that the ideas and knowledge that I have gained can be
applied in the practical filed.
Not only this but also I have realized that the way of managing scope,
cost, time and quality in any real world field application will become
much easier for me from this course leanring.

Lessons Learnt Framework
How I planned to gather and document lessons learnt
When I planned to
identify and collect
lessons learnt
Who I planned to
involve in the process
of gathering lessons
How I planned to
document lessons
There was a time when I
was assigned for a
project in my semester.
The entire requirement
of the project was based
on core professional
project management.
That time I did nit have
that much knowledge
regarding project
management. That was
the time when I planned
to identify and collect the
lesson learnt.
In order to implement the
project successfully,
application of lessons
are not enough thus
while gathering lessons
from different resources I
planned to involve my
course mates and
project supervisor.
I have found that there
are many best prcatices
available for preparing
the lessons learned
document. For this
particular case I planned
to document lessons by
involving all project
stakeholders and sharing
the ideas with other
project team members.

Lessons Learnt Framework
What actually happened
When I identified and
collected lessons learnt
Who I involved in the
process of gathering
lessons
How I documented
lessons
After gathering data from
different resources with
the help of my other
project team members
and the guidance of the
supervisor I realized that
there is a big difference
between what I have
planned to collect and
what I have actually
collected I have learned
that a resource
management plan is very
much necessary to be
prepared along with a
feasibility study at the
very initiation project
development phase.
In order to process the
collected data I have
involved the supervisors
and other course mates of
mine.
In this case I have
documented all the data
by using the concept of
“storing lesson learnt
document in a central
repository system of the
organisation where I was
working”.

No Lessons Learnt
Process
No Lessons Learnt
Library
I have learned that lesson learned
process is a cross functional boundary
that allows the business organizations
an personnel to learn from the
mistakes. I think that if from the
previous mistakes no lessons are learnt
then there is chances of improvement in
further career exists.
I have learned that lesson learnt library is
very much essential for a successful
Government Environment. Sharing,
collecting and mostly learning from
lessons of the earlier is the thing that
that helped me to deliver projects with a
much better awareness and improved
quality risk management. Utilizing
lessons learnt library gave me a quicker
access. With indexed contents the
content of the learning was become
easily available to me.
Reflections on my actual lessons learnt process
and the common issues of:

Lesson 1
Situation The situation made me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
During the
implementation of an
assignment due to a
distributed team I face
communication gap due
to cultural barrier.
The situation made e
feel angry and frustrated
From the situation I have
learnt that, in order to
implement ay group
assignment the cultural
diversity issues should
be resolved with the
implementation of open
communication.

Improvement strategy for lesson 1
Improvement
strategy
How to
measure if
the strategy
works
Why the
strategy is
achievable
Relevance of
strategy to
address the
lesson
When the
strategy will
be
implemented
The specific
improvement
strategy is
Continuous
improvement
plan
With the help
of PMI
(performance
measurement
indicator)
whether the
strategy is
working or not
can be
measured
This strategy
is achievable
for me
because I
have taken
guidance from
my supervisor
and attend
many
workshops for
the
betterment of
my skills.
With the
continuous
improvement
plan I will be
able to
minimize all
those
challenges I
have faced.
I will
implement
this strategy
by
(21/7/2018)

Lesson 2
Situation The situation made me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
I planed to implement
continuous improvement
strategy but I have
realized that all the
factors are not properly
arranged in terms of
mindset, leadership and
consistency.
I felt extremely
disappointed.
I have leant that planning
is not enough rather how
to implement the pan
professionally is much
important to think about.

Improvement strategy for lesson 2
Improvement
strategy
How to
measure if
the strategy

Why the
strategy is
achievable
Relevance of
strategy to
address the
lesson
When the
strategy will
be
implemented
In order to
develop the
continuous
improvement
program, the
strategy that I
have planned
to implement
is attending
training and
development
program
classes and
workshops.
With
performance
evaluation it
can be
measured that
whether the
strategy is
working or not
.
I have a
positive
mindset and I
am a
interactive
and extrovert
nature thus I
can attend the
workshops
and can ask
for any query
easily.
This strategy
can address
the issues
and can
minimize the
problems
eventually.
It will be
implemented
within
(30/8/2018).

Conclusion
From the overall discussion it can be concluded
that, with the successful course program of
PPMP20008, I can gather many ideas on project
management including resource management,
cost management, time management,
performance management, HR management
etc. I think that these ideas will help me to
become a successful professional in the
upcoming future.
