Lessons Learnt• Without a well negotiated scope with the client, you
apply the wrong resources and the wrong governance
• You must have the dominate group onside to make any project successful
• Not everybody wants everything in PMBOK
• Continuous review, appraisal and negotiation to broker between client, contractors and provider is a must. Chartering work groups is a good tool
• Establishing CoE means sustaining continuous learning
