What are the lessons learned during a project execution? Please share the lessons you have learned for the benefits of others.

<p>One of the most important part of Project Management is to document the Lesson Learned, this is very helpful for the future projects. While working on one of my project a very tough lesson I learned was “Not to blindly trust the resource working on the Project, even if the resource is a senior and highly experienced one”. Blindly trusting a resource can bring a disaster to a project. What other Lesson Learned can you share for the benefits of others.</p>

sound project planning:

The following strategies may provide an appropriate basis for sound project planning:

  • Build projects on the basis of lessons learned from previous UNDP projects in closely related fields.
  • Focus consultations with experts and/or stakeholders to facilitate project conceptualization, focusing, planning and targeting.
  • For innovative and ground-breaking programmes, begin small with pilot activities, drawing lessons and building on the basis of experience over time.
  • Use a preparatory phase to facilitate the focusing of the project and to allow for broad-based consultations with stakeholders on design and on an implementation strategy for major projects to follow.
  • Proactively identify a capacity gap, then hold carefully prepared and inclusive consultations to build involvement and partnership and to focus and clarify project design
