PPMP20008 Lessons Learnt Presentation: Improving Future Projects

This presentation reflects on the student's experience in PPMP20008, focusing on lessons learnt during the course. It covers the initial plans for gathering and documenting lessons, what actually happened, and reflections on the process, including common issues like the lack of a formal lessons learnt process or library. The presentation identifies two key situations: delays in project completion and budget shortages, detailing the feelings they evoked, the lessons derived, and improvement strategies for each. These strategies involve classifying project phases for effective execution and developing a budget management plan. The student emphasizes the importance of project scope definition, stakeholder communication, and resource allocation. The conclusion highlights the development of self-learning and practical experience gained through the course and assessments. References to project management resources are also included.

Introduction
• The following presentation reflects on my study of PPMP20008
• I would highlight the various topics studied during the course
• The study can be helpful for gaining self reliance in managing
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
Understanding the case
study
Developing a synopsis of
the case study
Application of analytics
for studying the case
study
My tutor helped me in
completing the
assignment study
Identifying the case
attributes of the project
Listing the required
project activities
Classifying them in
phases
Aligning them in time line
Reviewing the plan

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
I learnt that project scope
can be defined as list of
items comprising the
project deliverables
Project scope can be
estimated by using smart
processing
I used analysis of the
project activities for
sorting the scope into in
scope and out of scope
My tutor helped me in
completing the
assignment study
I have to study the
project case study for
understanding the
project objectives
I developed the project
objectives based on the
main clients’
requirements
I had to perform
feasibility analysis on the
project objectives

No Lessons Learnt
Process
No Lessons Learnt
Library
I had to identify the key stakeholders of
the project
The analysis of the key stakeholders
was done based on their power and
interest in project
I defined the performance benchmark
and stakeholder’s expectation
Communication in a project is very
crucial
I learnt that communication helps in
dealing with problems by transferring the
right information
I made communication plan for easing
the interaction of the stakeholders in the
project
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
Delay in completion of
the project
Uneasy and Helpless for
being able to manage
the project schedule
Project schedule is a
extension of project plan

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
Implication of
Project
Management
Strategy
I listed the
activities that
are required
in the project
I classified
them in
phases for
ensuring
effective
project
execution
I aligned them
in time line
with the help
of project
management
methodology
Planning
Phase

Lesson 2
Situation The situation made me
feel…
What I learnt from
reflecting on the
situation
Shortage of budget Uneasy and Helpless for
being able to manage
the project resources
The budget developed
was helpful for allowing
the utilization of the
resources in the project

Improvement strategy for lesson 2
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
Budget
Management
Plan
I used project
budget for
developing
the effective
implication of
the project
resources
The budget
developed
was helpful
for allowing
the utilization
of the
resources in
the project
The study
helped me in
forming the
implication of
the effective
project
resource
allocation
Cost Budget
Estimation
Process

Conclusion
• I completed the study of PPMP20008 for
developing ideas of project management
• It allowed me to develop my self learning attitude
along with the course of activities
• I was able to gain experience through practical
assessments
