Good project management is always looking forward ensuring that what is done today, & what is learned today, can help tomorrow. It becomes a way of life and using and leveraging Kaizen Principles (looking for efficiencies), the Lessons Learned Register and Lessons Learned Repository are critical to the success of the future projects undertaken by a PMO, or the organisation conducting the project. Falling under this category are Lean Principles – looking to eliminate waste and endorsing concepts such as ‘just in time delivery’. Each play a part in setting up a project, and an organisation for long term success.
