I have suggested my department to establish an effective Lessons Learned procedure, so we can make use of each others experiences. They asked me to come with an proposal and how to do it.
I am thinking of having a workshop (1 hour) at the beginning of a project, where recent projects and lessons learned are taken into consideration. Then after finishing the project, another session is held to extract the new "lessons learned" and put them into a collective place.
My toughest task is - how to categorize, organize and collect these Lessons learned and how to make them available for search. I know, that no big amount would be spent on this issue and intially they expect me to make an excel sheet. I dont think the excel sheet would be effective, but again maybe it can be done.
What are your suggestions? Is is is possible to make this easy in some kind of webpage environment. Ideally, I have thought about a page for submission, where key data is input from PM. And then a search page, which can sort and filter by application, date, project delivery method, etc.
All suggestions are welcome....please help me. Saving Changes...
In terms of the initial question - how have you all categorised your Projects? I'd like to put a category against each project so that when I run a report of all the Lessons Learned, I can filter by Project Type. Any ideas? Thanks! Saving Changes...
