Exam PMP topic 1 question 590 discussion

I agree that it should be B

I'll stick with D While it may be possible to assign the documenting task to a project team member (option A), it is ultimately the project manager's responsibility to ensure that the lessons learned are properly documented. Relying on the SME to document and capture the occurrence (option B) may lead to delays or inconsistencies in the documentation process. Waiting until the project closure phase (option C) is not ideal, as lessons learned should be captured throughout the project lifecycle to maximize their effectiveness.

While the project manager can facilitate or review, the SME should document the occurrence for accuracy, and the project manager can then ensure it is included in the lessons learned register.

lessons learned is under the ownership of the pm

In real world it is B but PMI mindset is D

As the project manager, it's their responsibility to ensure that lessons learned are captured and documented. By taking ownership of documenting the occurrence, the project manager can: - Ensure accuracy and completeness of the information - Verify the relevance and impact of the lesson learned - Include it in the lessons learned register in a timely manner - Make it available for future reference and application in the project or other projects

PM have to take ownership of project lesson learn

Options A and B are less favorable because they delegate the responsibility, which could lead to inconsistencies in how lessons are documented or a delay in capturing important insights. Option C is not recommended because it defers an important task that should be handled immediately to avoid losing valuable information. Thus, by taking ownership of the documentation, the project manager ensures that the lessons learned are properly recorded, facilitating continuous improvement throughout the project lifecycle.

Its the responsibility of the PM to identify and update the LLR

The project manager should **B. Ask the SME to document and capture the occurrence**. The SME, being the subject matter expert, is best positioned to accurately document the occurrence in detail. This ensures that the lessons learned register is as comprehensive and accurate as possible. It's important to note that the lessons learned register should be updated throughout the project, not just at the closure phase. This allows the team to apply these lessons in the current project, as well as future projects.

Option D says 'Take ownership'. It doesn't mean the PM should update. It could be a dedicated person in a project who facilitates capturing lessons learned (very practical). However, PM owns it, is responsible, and ensures that they are captured properly.

Given the context and the available options, the best course of action would be: B. Ask the SME to document and capture the occurrence. It's essential for lessons learned to be detailed, accurate, and timely. The SME is in the best position to ensure that the lesson captured is comprehensive and meaningful.

B. Ask the SME to document and capture the occurrence

B. Ask the SME to document and capture the occurrence. This is a good approach because the SME has the most direct knowledge of the occurrence and can provide the most accurate and detailed information.

Option D- The SME has identified that and is asking PM to just do the documentation .If the SME has specifically requested the project manager to handle the documentation, it would be appropriate for the project manager to take ownership of the task and proceed with documenting the occurrence in the lessons learned register. The project manager should ensure that all necessary details are captured accurately and comprehensively, reflecting the insights provided by the SME. This approach respects the SME's preference while also ensuring the important information is properly documented.

B. Ask the SME to document and capture the occurrence. The project manager should ask the technical subject matter expert (SME) to document and capture the occurrence in the project's lessons learned register. As the SME has the most knowledge and understanding of the specific occurrence, they are best suited to provide accurate and detailed information. The project manager can then review the documented lessons learned and ensure that it is properly included in the register, fostering continuous improvement and knowledge sharing within the project team.
