Lesson Learned: Automate Project Evaluations

May 7, 2008 by JurgenAppelo

Project evaluations (or retrospectives) are a nuisance. Everybody knows they are important, but nobody performs them. With at least ten new projects starting every week in our company, how can I instruct our people to get all project stakeholders together (in ten different settings) and construct a "lessons learned" list of the ten projects that were delivered the week before? Nobody is available for such meetings because they are all too busy making sure the new projects are initiated properly. Sure, this is no excuse. But it is reality.

Automate the Process
To get around this problem I have decided to automate the evaluation process.
