The creation of temporary enterprises for project-based work has become an increasingly salient feature of the new economy. These organizations specialize in execution of certain type of projects while leveraging their unique competencies, industry best practices and learning from their past projects. The end of a project offers firms a window of opportunity to learn from the many things that went right and wrong over a project’s duration. While each project journey is unique in its own way, there are often many scenarios where past experience of dealing similar situations comes very handy to handle them more effectively and efficiently in future. 

Often learning from firm’s past projects acts as most important key differentiating factor while positioning their organization as preferred partner/vendor. The purpose of this session is to discuss and understand process of postmortem analysis which has been used very successfully by Microsoft and other software developers for learning from past projects. This Harvard Case Study based session will also provide you an opportunity to apply and share your post project analysis techniques which you are using in your organization to explore projects key learning.
