Description

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. “ ~ George Santayana, The Life of Reason

Patterns of past project success, or failure, can be powerful elements in projecting the success of future portfolios.  Most organizations have some type of methodology they use to record this type of information.  However, designing a method to categorize and refer to past lessons learned is often overlooked.  Making a reference to past projects included in your cultural expectations for project planning, can be critical in the development and sustenance of a high performing PMO. 

This course teaches a structured method for conducting, storing and referencing lessons learned based on best practices.
