When did you first get the idea for the project? How much time elapsed and what steps were involved between the idea of conception and a clear understanding of what you were doing? What was the idea for the project?

How did you go about planning the project? Did you think about what tools, equipment, and supplies you would need and where to obtain them? Did you arrange for extra help

Once you got under way, did everything go according to plan? Did you stay within budget? Did you finish on time? Did you meet your quality standards? Did any unanticipated problems occur? If so, how did you deal with them?

When the project was completed, were there people to be released or reassigned, tools and equipment to be returned, or surplus materials to be disposed of?

When the project was completed, did you spend any time reflecting on the experience to see where improvements could have been made in the management of the project? If not, take a few minutes now and write down some ideas for improvement.
