What other procedure been used to analysis for data collected at the end of the project, a template for scope change request? basis of approval / decision making

Do we capture the scope change in the contingency plan or maybe under floating slack time if using CCM.

Any links would be helpful

Drake Settsu Project Manager / Blogger Hi, United States
You might want to take it slow if you never have done lessons learned before. You can make it more complex after you get into the rhythm of performing more lessons learned.

1) Review the project with the team and ask everyone to provide what they feel worked and what they feel did not work. Keep the questions simple to bring out a discussion that will yield valuable input to the lessons learned document.

2) Create a simple excel spreadsheet to document your findings. Rank the findings with a 1-5 scale with 1 being very important.

Do not forget about that project lessons learned and file it away. Make an action plan to implement the discussed improvements on the next project.

why not take a regular retrospective approach? Also, you might want to watch my OnDemand webinar on Lessons Learned as I don't provide a template but do provide ideas on the types of information and categorization which might increase the value of the lessosn captured.
