Topic: 
Do Project Organizations Learn from Lessons Learned?

Despite the fact that the capture and publication of lessons learned throughout the life of a project is considered standard practice by formal project management methodologies, a review of the literature indicates new project teams struggle to incorporate them as best practices to be shared with the project-based organization. Because Project Knowledge Management is not functioning effectively and consistently, project managers, project teams, and the organizations are negatively impacted.

Dr. Tim Brandon conducted a quantitative survey study that addressed an identified need for further study of the effectiveness of the lessons learned Project Knowledge Management processes; it contributes to the project management body of knowledge, it informs practitioners how the management of project lessons learned are correlated with project success, it ascertains the relative effectiveness of the four key lessons learned project knowledge management (PKM) processes, and it provides insight on how effectively project organizations are learning from the projects' lessons learned and how lessons learned Project Knowledge Management processes are related to project success.

In this presentation, Dr. Tim will describe his study, identify the impact of lessons learned Project Knowledge Management processes, the strengths and weaknesses of those processes, and present recommendations on how to improve them.
