Best practices and lessons learned

  • Description: Typically present the situation, the options, choices taken, and the results for a typical decision problem. Best practices are those attributes ( e.g., structures, disciplines, processes, controls, metrics, tools, and staffing qualifications) demonstrated to be effective guidelines for the successful management of diverse programs and projects. Lessons learned are experiences acquired in the execution of programs and projects which can provided value-added direction to the formulation and execution of future development and operational initiatives. They are widely used in natural resource management and can be extensively found on the internet. "Story telling" allow people to gain more understanding and have greater recall then they do from written reports. Stories can be used to capture lectures on a particular topic, to capture after action reports, to record difficult to codify tacit knowledge, and for many other purposes.
