The main benefit of documenting lessons learned is that it summarizes the effects of decisions made
on a project and serves as a guide for what to repeat or avoid in future projects (Option B).
Why Option B is Correct?
Lessons learned improve future projects by documenting best practices and avoiding repeated
mistakes.
They capture what worked well and what challenges arose, creating a knowledge base for
continuous improvement.
IFMA’s Project Management Core Competency highlights that facility managers must use past
experiences to refine processes and improve efficiency.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
Option A (Provides inputs to the project issue log): Issue logs track current project problems, whereas
lessons learned apply to future projects.
Option C (Provides key inputs for the project charter, project management plan, and stakeholder
register): Lessons learned are used after project execution, not during initial planning.
