2A. LESSONS LEARNT: FRAMEWORK
2.1 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
When I was engaged with
the course I made a plan
as per that I need to collect
the different types of
lessons which are learnt by
me through this course.
I made a plan to involve
students who are involved
with the PMP20008 course
for collecting the learnt
lessons
I made a plan as per which
proper weekly documents
are created so that the
documents can be used for
future projects.
2B. LESSONS LEARNT: FRAMEWORK (CON’T)
2.2 What actually happened?
When I identified and
collected lessons learnt
Who I involved in the
process of gathering
lessons
How I documented
lessons
The plan that is made is
made by me previously
does not work and
therefore I collected the
learnt lessons after my
course gets completed.
I mainly involved the
members who are of my
team for collecting lessons
learnt so that they can also
provide some help in
collection
I mainly planned to
document the lessons in
the form of report and
presentation so that both
the report and presentation
can be used within the
project.
3.1 LESSON 1

1. Situation 2. The situation made me
feel…
3. What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
I have identified lot of
problems in determining
the changes that are
needed as well as proper
steps for managing the
changes when I was
involved with this course.
This creates lot of issues
and problems in the
completion of the project
and creates obstruction
within the project.
This situation made me
feel quite sad I was not
incapable of properly
managing the issues which
generally rises due to
improper management of
the changes. If the needed
changes are not added
within time then it further
creates lot of problems in
the entire project.
After properly reflecting on
the situation, I analyzed
that it is very much
significant to properly
accomplish the required
changes for achieving the
goals as well as objectives.

strategy is
achievable
4. Relevance

address the
lesson
5. When the
strategy will
be
implemented
The specific
improvement
strategy that is
needed to be
implemented
generally
creates lot of
issues within
the project. The
different
changes are
generally done
properly
crosschecked in
order to make
sure that the
different types
of changes
which are made
within the
project is quite
helpful in
meeting the
objectives of
the project.
I would know
that the
strategy was
properly
working as I will
be able to
effectively
analyze the
change that
generally exists
because of the
application of
changes within
the project for
making sure
that the
changes are
effective.
This strategy is
achievable for
me because I
will be able to
properly
develop the
change
management
plan before
making the
necessary
changes.
This strategy is
relevant to
lesson 1 as it
will generally
help in
minimizing the
changes that
are mainly
associated with
the project
quite
effectively.
I will implement
this strategy by
1 month so that
I can be able to
implement the
required
changes within
the work quite
successfully
without facing
any type of
problems and
issues.

1. Situation 2. The situation made me
feel…
3. What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
I faced number of
problems associated due
to ineffective
communication with my
team members when I was
engaged with the course of
PMP20008. It is found that
due to ineffective
communication, number of
issues generally occurs
which leads to obstruction
within the entire project.
The situation made me feel
sad I was unable to
communicate effectively
with the team members
due to lack of confidence.
This is one of the major
problem that can create
negative impact on the
work that was undertaken.
After reflecting on the
present situation, I learnt
that the problem that I am
facing due to improper
communication can be
effectively resolved by
engaging in group
discussions as well as by
developing proper plan for
communication.

can be resolved

Proper

with a group of
I would know
the strategy
was working as
I could measure
the change in
performance of
the work after
the successful
implementation
of the
improvement
strategy within
the entire
project.
This strategy is
achievable for
me because as
I would be able
to engage
within groups
for discussion
ad can be able
to develop
proper plan for
communication
so that the
problems that
occurs due to
gap in
communication
can be resolved
quite effectively.
This strategy is
relevant to
lesson 2 as it
will be helpful in
reducing the
issues of
communication
gap.
I will implement
this strategy by
1 month so that
the problems
that mainly
occur due to
communication
gap can be

3. What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
I faced number of
difficulties as well as
problems in managing time
properly when I was
involved in PMP20008
course. Due to improper
management of time
number of problems as
well as issues occur which
generally delays the work.
The situation made me
frustrated as time
management is important
for achieving success and
incapability in managing
the time within any type of
work is creating negative
impact.
While focussing on the
entire situation, I realized
that it is quite important to
manage the project time
properly by making
appropriate time
management plan.
Additionally, it is identified
that appropriate plan for
time management plan
assists in resolving the
issues that generally
occurs due to
inappropriate management
of project time.

the strategy
was working as
I could
measure the
changes that
mainly occur
because of the
development of

plan quite
effectively.
This strategy is
achievable for
me because I
can be able to
develop proper
plan for

within the
project with the
help and
guidance other
team members.
This strategy is
relevant to
lesson 2 as it
will helpful in
reducing the
problem that
generally
occurs due to
improper time
management
within the
project.
I will implement
this strategy in
2 months so
that the issues
that I have
faced related
with improper
time
management
can be
mitigated quite
easily.

is very much beneficial as with the help of the course proper lessons are generally
collected that can be utilized in the future projects. Further it is found that the paper
focuses on lesson learnt framework as well as on the situation that is faced while involving
within the course. In addition to this, the paper also focuses on the improvement strategies
which are considered to be important for resolving the problems as well as issues. Thus, it
