Lessons learned on project level: SP91- project management
report
The objective of this deliverable, as part of WP911 General Management, is to identify and describe the lessons learned of DRIVER+ on project level, including the achievement towards the objectives, recommen-dations for future projects and demonstrations, and recommendations for future Framework Work Programmes. DRIVER+ was conducted within the context of FP7. It was a so-called demonstration project, and within H2020 and HEU this kind of projects does not exist anymore as such. Furthermore, DRIVER+ was a project within the area of Disaster Resilient Societies. Nevertheless, it is expected that the specific lessons learned formulated and the recommendations also apply to H2020 and HEU projects as well as projects outside of the Crisis Management and Disaster Risk Management domain.
The lessons learned are structured along the following, partly overlapping, categories: (1) restructuring/ suspension phase, (2) general project management and coordination, (3) quality management, (4) risk and issue management, (5) practitioner centred approach, (6) multiple perspectives and inclusive approach, (7) focus on sustainability, (8) informal management and teamwork, (9) internal communication, and (10) public relations, dissemination and communication. For each category, the main observations and expe-riences are described, followed by a summary of the strengths and weakness, and finally the identified lessons learned reflecting these.
