Your organization has just promoted three internal resources into project manager roles
due to the workload on current project managers. Due to their lack of experience, your
PMO has asked that you take the lead in onboarding, coaching, and mentoring these
new project managers. During a training session you are reviewing project documents
that are required by your PMO for each project. You are explaining the purpose and use
of each document. One of the new project managers asks when you need to create the
lessons learned register. She says that her previous project managers just created
those at the end of the project as they were finalizing the project and gaining final
closure approval. What is the best response to this question?
- CORRECT ANSWER While many project managers wait until the end of the project to
capture lessons learned, the lessons learned register should be created at the
beginning of the project and used to capture lessons learned throughout the project
