Welcome to the lessons learned meeting. I am Jeannine Javier, the project manager. A lessons learned meeting is part of the closing phase of a project life cycle (Barkley, 2014).
1
Lessons Learned
Lessons can be observed during all project phases, especially during the execution phase. (Tereso, Ribeiro, Fernandes, Loureiro, & Ferreira, 2019). The product has a core component and add-ons. Be clear about the core capabilities. Plan the server, database, network, and human resource requirements with growth in mind. Ensure cooperation at every level as early as possible to prevent a barrier to success. Create a clear scope for completion and sign-off.

Lessons
Learned
Set expectations for the what the product can and cannot do.
Plan for growth during capacity planning to enable scalability.
Establish project support and buy-in early to avoid roadblocks.
Establish a clear project scope and deliverables to thwart scope creep.
Applying Lessons Learned
Set expectations because the product offers many additional features for purchase. Clients should know what they will get. Plan capacity to allow for an increasing service base. Get buy-in and commitment to prevent non-conforming clients from affecting project success. Be sure the scope is understood. There will be many requests for added features once the tool is in production.

Applying
Lessons Learned
Set clear expectations for the product early to prevent a misunderstanding of its core features as compared to those that require an added purchase.
Plan for growth and scalability.
Once it is in place, and the client sees the product value, they will want to upscale the project.
Establish management buy-in and key stakeholder support early on to prevent end-users from blocking progress.
Establish a clear scope to close out the project successfully.
Additional requests can be addressed after the project transitions to production.
