I believe an evaluation or Post Implementation Review is extremely important for any project. The evaluation in my experience is most valuable a short period after the implementation of the project outcomes. In this way the project team can see the deliverables and the impact of those deliverables on the rest of the company. Many people see the Lessons Learned evaluation as a negative, however it does not have to be. Going back and recognizing what went wrong, but also what went right in a project can help the project manager on similar projects in the future. Is something did go wrong in the project it is important to find out why and to document all the findings so that good actions are repeatable while others are avoidable. During the review the goals of the initiation and planning phases of the project should be compared for overall project success (SQA, 2007). This will also ensure the project was not closed out prematurely.

An effective lessons learned document will provide an overview of breakthroughs and issues encountered by the team during the project’s life cycle. The intent is to provide information for future projects throughout the company so that time and energy can be saved avoiding or exploiting similar situations in the future (Project Management Qualification, 2019). Lessons should be documented as they happen so that their benefits can be felt even during the current project. The lessons learned document should be a living and breathing artifact that teams regularly add to and reference. Access should also be given to those outside the project post-closure to affect company-wide change. An effective way of presenting the information company-wide could be a presentation by the project manager to stakeholders, other project managers, and executive staff on the challenges and breakthroughs that occurred during the projects cycle.
