Talk:Lessons learned

Revision as of 15:51, 11 February 2023

In general, the content and figures in the original article are good. My focus is not going to be on rewriting what is already there, as the majority is well written and relevant. However, my focus is going to be on creating a better structure and a common red thread between the sections. In addition, I will be adding a number of sections and figures to the article that will touch on things that are not already there.

My suggestion for the structure of the updated article is listed below.

• Abstract
• Introduction
  • Setting
• Application
  • Methodology
    • Phase 1: Identify
    • Phase 2: Document
    • Phase 3: Analyse
    • Phase 4: Store
    • Phase 5: Retrieve
• Avoid project failure with the use of lessons learned
• Benefits and limitations
  • Benefits
  • Limitatios
• Annotated bibliography
• References

Below I have described the improvements I want to make. This list will most likely be updated as I gain more knowledge about the tool.

General improvements

• Change the overall structure of the article to make it easier to follow.
• Create a red thread between the existing figures and tables and the ones I develop.
• Develop missing figures.
• Enhance the quality of the article by adding more references.
• Update the annotated bibliography and references.
• Refer to all figures and tables in the text.
• Add authors of the article.

Abstract

• Include the project manager's role in using this tool.
• Rewrite the last past of the section.
• Update Figure 1.

Overview

• Remove the overview title.
• Create less focus on the PRINCE2.
• Include the “big idea” - what is the purpose of the tool?
• Develop a the golden circle figure for the setting section.
• Update Figure 2.

Application

• Develop a figure which illustrates the lessons learned process in the methodology section.
• Divide the methodology section into five subsections, each describing a phase of the lessons learned process.
• Change the names of the lessons learned phases to the most commonly used in literature.
• Eventually change the methodology title to lessons learned process.
• Move the last past of the methodology section down to the section about benefits and limitations.
• Move the setting section to the introduction section.
• Rewrite the collecting and validating lessons learned section and implement it in the methodology.
• Update Figure 3 and 4.
• Update the table.

Ensuring sharing the lessons learned

• Rewrite the sections and implement it in the methodology.
• Update Figure 5.

Write a section about how to avoid project failure with the use of lessons learned

Benefits and limitations

• Elaborate more on the benefits and limitations. Currently this section is very short.
• Support the content with references. At present, the section does not contain any references.
• Remove the bullet points from the subtitles.
• Update Figure 6.

Alternative approach to lessons learned

• Move the section above the benefits and limitations section.
• Update Figure 7.

Annotated bibliography

• Update with new references.

References

• Update with new references.
