Planning should be adapted to the nature of a project. The lessons learned document is a part of the project manager’s artifacts for the project. This document contains information for the project scope and includes what went well on the project, what challenges the project experienced, and is used as an integral part of the project planning process. It discusses the positive and negative aspects of the project, which is helpful for the strategic planning of future projects.
