highlights how various resources, elements of planning, perceptions of projects, organizational
structures and project competencies are clearly investigated. Further, different sectors that are
helping project managers financially are also understood from this research.

The overall learning session
has concentrated to determine

Here, project managers has

Further, the facilitators are
been using lessons learnt
through different categories.
It is helpful for the

How I documented lessons
In this case documenting of
various lessons are learnt.
Since, the research is
documented, they get
reported to project
stakeholders. Different types
of reports are been created as
per the demand of clients.
Moreover, the details study of
the report has consisted of
data gathered with additional
inputs coming from various
participants. In this way they
are unable to attend.
In this case, facilitators has

the current document has
been presenting an effective
overview of lessons. This are

of project strengths. Secondly,
it has comprised of strengths
and weaknesses that are
needed to be created. It has
been includidng attachments

In level 2, the governments
has been defining primary

these are been done through
recognizing and documenting
various lessons learnt. In this
case, the process has been
changing the culture of
organization. It is consistently
applicable to project and
process with project
documents.
The task is useful to revise
different documents in
effective manner.
Through reflecting on the
present situation the
companies have required
starting of analysis and
efficient tools of different

it is also understood that

knowledge. This indicates
that valuable information are

organizations. Further, it is
done to remove different
lessons learnt repeatedly.
Further, here the best practice
is repeated for various lessons
