Introduction
Scholars have argued that there is that there is an
increasing need for reflective practice, given a growing
concern in various professions ((Gould 1996; Schon 1983).
During my study project in this course I have realized that
when we are doing group, everyone couldn't come to
university in same day due to their situation. so most time we
had to discuss online, but it was a bit difficult for me. I have
also realized that When we had group assignment during our
course, I was always a last minute person. In this presentation
I am going identify this lessons learnt, and consider what
actions can be taken to address this lessons and improve my
overall performance in future study projects.

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
• After I realised I had
a problem with
online group
discussions and how
I do my group
assignments
• I had planned to
involve my group
members in order to
come up with a
strategy to
overcome the
problems I was
facing
• I planned to
document the
lessons in order of
priority starting with
the one that needed
immediate attention
and the strategy
that I intend to
apply to avoid
similar problems in
the future

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
Whact actually
happened is that
• I could not
concentrate on our
online group
discussion as I felt it
was a waste of time.
• I had tendency of
doing my group
assignment just
before submission
thus piling a lot of
pressure on me
My group members
• There is need for me
to set personal
deadlines when
doing my
assignments
• I also need to have
a working plan when
doing my studies.
• For online group
discussions I need to
be in an
environment with
less distraction for
me to concentrate
more.

Reflections on my actual lessons learnt process
and the common issues of:
No Lessons Learnt
Process
No Lessons Learnt
Library
In my reflection I learnt a number
of lessons.

Lesson 1
Situation The situation made
me feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
When we had group
assignment during our
course, I was always a
last minute person
• The situation made
me fill like a lazy
person and someone
who was not serious
in his work and life in
general
• I also felt like I was
let-down to my team
because I was not
there for them when
they needed me.
• I also felt I lacked
leadership skills. I
could not lead my
group well since I
didn’t show
commitment to
• As a project
manager, everything
should be organized
and prepared in
advance.
• If I am to be the
group leader I need
to lead from the
front and that means
organizing and
tackling assignments
early enough to
avoid last minute
rush.
• Lack of plan and
preparation may
lead to failure

Lesson 2
Situation
The situation made
me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
• when we are doing
group, everyone
couldn't come to
uni in same day
due to their
situation. so most
time we had to
discuss online, but
it was a bit difficult
for me.
• Doing our group
discussion online
made me feel I was
losing out a lot.
• There things I did
not understand but
I could not seek out
clarification due to
the limited time
online and at times
bandwidth
problem.
• I also felt the
discussion was less
interactive as
compared to face
It is more prudent to
have face to face
discussion as
opposed to online
group discussion. This
is because it is more
productive and time
saving
Online discussion
limits interactivity
between members.
This is because of
bandwidth issues and
sometimes poor
connectivity.

Conclusion
 In conclusion, looking at the situations
above it is evident that planning and
setting personal deadlines plays a key role
when it comes to getting various tasks
done in time. Being a project manager will
require one to posses planning skills if he/
she is to cover various tasks in time and
within a stipulated time frame. Preparation
and getting the team to know what is
expected of them is just but part of the
planning process for any project manager.
