Question

The project is nearing the end of stage 2. The Sustainability Manager records a lesson learned in the daily log that could be used on other projects in the portfolio. Is this an appropriate use of the `learn from experience' principle, and why?

Options

AYes, because the daily log is used for informal issues and lessons
BYes, because recording the lesson ensures learning on this project
CNo, because the lesson should be shared beyond the project
DNo, because the lesson should be marked as "logged"

Explanation

Explanation/Reference: PRINCE2 distinguishes between lessons relevant only to the current project and lessons that could benefit the wider organization. While the daily log is suitable for informal recording, PRINCE2 is clear that lessons with wider applicability should be escalated and shared through lessons reports and organizational learning The scenario explicitly states that the lesson could be used on other projects within the portfolio. PRINCE2 guidance emphasizes that learning should contribute to organizational maturity, not remain isolated within a single project. Therefore, simply recording the lesson in the daily log is insufficient. Option C is correct because the Sustainability Manager should ensure the lesson is communicated to the portfolio or programme level so it can be applied elsewhere. Options A and B misunderstand the purpose of lessons management, while D invents a status requirement that PRINCE2 does not mandate.
