Lessons learned

Description

The lessons learned are systematically collected and continuously documented as a project review. They support the continual improvement process in the project and in the core organization. They provide valuable information for the further course of the project and possible indicators for subsequent projects by identifying and adopting positive aspects and preventing negative aspects as far as possible.
