A project is nearing completion and stakeholders are proud of the results. The project management office (PMO) recommends the project manager lead a similar follow-on project. What should the project manager do next?

Engaging key stakeholders to complete and deliver lessons learned is crucial for project closure and continuous improvement. This ensures that valuable knowledge gained from the project is documented and shared, benefiting future projects and the organization. Selecting the same stakeholders for the next project to avoid knowledge transfer is incorrect; knowledge transfer is essential. Presenting achievements and delegating knowledge transfer to the steering committee is insufficient; the project manager is responsible for facilitating this process. Asking the PMO to manage the lessons-learned repository is part of their role, but the project manager is responsible for contributing the lessons learned.
