Overview
Purpose The Lessons Log is a project repository for lessons that apply to this
project or future projects. Some lessons may originate from other
projects and should be captured on the Lessons Log for input to the
project’s strategies and plans. Some lessons may originate from within
the project - where new experience (both good and bad) can be passed
on to others via a Lessons Report.
