Lessons learned is a cost-effective project management tool that aims to bring together any insight gained during a specific project, which can be usefully applied in future projects. [1]. According to Project Management Institute (PMI), project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements and objectives. [2]. The challenging task of managing projects can somewhat be aided through the usage of the tool, Lessons learned. Project Management Institute (PMI) defines lessons learned as the learning gained from the process of performing the project. [3].

Lessons learned is not a new term in the world of project management, but is however often a neglected one. The downsizing of the usage of lessons learned in projects seem conflicting with the importance of what can be gained from an effective lessons learned. An effective lessons Learned process should prevent the organisation from repeating its mistakes and allow it to repeat its successes. It should be an instrumental part of any organization’s overall continuous improvement” proces. [4]
