This activity is designed to reflect on the projects completed by the groups during the term. It provides an opportunity for students to explain the concepts of $$lessons learned$$ and $$best practices$,$ two terms that are often confused, and to highlight the differences between them.

Students are expected to share their successes and challenges, both as individual groups and collectively. Having navigated between Predictive and Adaptive projects before finally leaning towards the Predictive project could elicit mixed feelings. These experiences can be documented for future exploration in the next term.

This activity will shed light on how they started in their groups, highlight the lessons learned from working in specific groups, and share specific learnings from the projects. Students are also expected to share what they did not do but wish they had done.

The activity will be graded based on the presentations shared by the groups during the in$-$person class. This exercise aims to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement among students, emphasizing the importance of reflecting on past experiences to inform future actions.

Activity

Lessons Learned Workshop: Divide the class into small groups and ask each group to reflect on the projects they completed during the term. Each group will need to share their successes and challenges, both as individual groups and collectively. They will also need to highlight the lessons learned from working in specific groups and share specific learnings from the projects. This activity will give students hands$-$on experience with reflecting on past experiences to inform future actions.

Best Practices Presentation: In this activity, students will prepare presentations explaining the concepts of $$lessons learned$$ and $$best practices$$ and highlight the differences between them. They are also expected to share what they did not do but wish they had done. The groups will be assessed on the quality and content of their presentations and their responses to questions from other groups.

These activities aim to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement among students. It emphasizes the importance of reflecting on past experiences to inform future actions. The students$$ understanding and participation in these activities will be evaluated and will constitute a part of their overall course grade. Remember, the goal is not just to understand the theory but also to apply it in practical scenarios. This will help them in their future roles as project managers or team members.
