Lessons Learned Register — What to Capture During Execution

Authors

What It Is

A Lessons Learned Register (LLR) captures what worked and what didn’t — during the project, not only at the end.

PMI emphasizes ongoing learning, not just postmortems.


Typical Entries

  • Communication challenges and fixes
  • Vendor response times
  • Estimation errors
  • Stakeholder engagement wins
  • Process improvements to retain

Exam Focus

When should the project team record lessons learned?

Throughout the project lifecycle, not only at closure.

LLR is part of the Organizational Process Assets (OPAs) update.


Integration Connection

When closing, lessons are transferred to the Organizational Knowledge Repository.
That’s why PMI calls this “manage project knowledge.”
