Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not applying lessons learned from one project to the next

Consequence: Same scheduling errors, cost overruns, and coordination failures repeated on every project

Correction: Conduct a 30-minute post-project review documenting what worked, what failed, and what to change for the next project
