This activity will provide you with an opportunity to share your thoughts on one of the project management topics.
The class interaction will foster a learning environment in which you will learn from each other's experiences and opinions. In addition to that, you will practice speaking the project management lingo and expressing your opinions in a professional manner.
A reoccurring question in the project management field is:
How do we not only learn from our mistakes but also ensure that these mistakes are not repeated on future projects?
Project managers would agree that although it is important to identify Lessons Learned for the project, the more important and challenging task is to ensure that the Lessons Learned are utilized in order to prevent the same mistakes from being repeated on future projects. This activity will encourage students to brainstorm on this topic and identify strategies that would ensure that Lessons Learned on previous projects improve the results of future projects.
