For the past several years, business pundits have waxed poetic about “unprecedented change” brought on by what seemed like massive socioeconomic shifts. Well, buckle up, because it’s become abundantly clear that was just the pregame. The past few months alone ha…

Spikes in cases. The new normal. Limited opening. Social distancing.
These are all new taglines that we’re hearing as we slowly move back to the office. Granted, some of us were already remote workers and in that case, the change will be minimal. But those returning to th…

These days, many of us have traded in-person meetings for videoconference calls and business casual for sweatpants. We’re spending much more time working in front of our computer screens and in an astonishing number of new meetings.

“We’re All in this Together” – that has been the mantra since the COVID-19 lockdown began – and it elucidates Dave Wakeman’s idea that world has acted as parts of system in dealing with the pandemic. In much the same way, we can apply a systems approach to the complexity involved in project management. After -all, projects involve a large number of interactions between different components.

With the global death toll now over 410,000, COVID-19 is recognized as a clear and present danger to public health. But lurking just beneath the surface is another disturbing—often less visible—crisis: the damage to our mental health.

Lenka Pinkot’s post regarding improving the impact of lessons learned touches on three, specific after-action methods for maximizing learning in a project. I’ve personally gotten into the habit of launching the lessons learned process at project kick-off, capturing and collecting data and adding it to the regular status meeting agenda so it can be reviewed by the team routinely. Whether it is a traditional project or agile methodology, this is the one element that I try and maintain a formal structure around. I like to take a continuous improvement approach and I rely on all the project stakeholders to provide feedback as to what metrics and measured should be collected and what methods should be used to gather them. Its also often helpful to rely on other project managers to share knowledge if they have lessons learned from similar engagements. I have been part of organizations that have striven to develop a shared body of knowledge.
What methods and practices have you found effective to maximize your lessons learned?

Project management affords a great opportunity for professional and personal learning with the identification of lessons learned as one of its standard practices. Discussing the lessons learned within the team or sharing them with other colleagues outside of the project is all abo…

Early in my membership with PMI I volunteered as an Operation Adviser for my local chapter. Unfortunately, having three, young kids and a demanding job took a toll on my available bandwidth and I had to relinquish my volunteer position within a year. However, my time spend as a volunteer was highly rewarding, and I would recommend it to anyone who has the passion and time to commit to an effort. Yasmina Khelifi’s points regarding volunteering in her article should be weighed with the proper consideration because they are absolutely correct, but they shouldn’t absolutely prohibit you from researching an opportunity. Sometimes, the benefits outweigh the detriments.
