Effective management of lessons learned is crucial for continuous improvement in project management, yet practical frameworks for operationalizing these lessons remain underdeveloped. This article introduces the Project Integrated Lessons Learned (PILL) Framework, a novel approach designed to systematically capture, analyze, and integrate lessons learned across the project lifecycle. It details the development and theoretical underpinnings of the PILL Framework, drawing on evidence-based management principles and organizational culture. Through a series of structured processes—from identification and capture to analysis and integration—this framework aims to enhance organizational learning and project success.

Learning Outcomes provided by Joshua will include how to:
• Understand the importance of project management lessons learned
• Explain the core principles and components of the PILL Framework
• Demonstrate how to integrate lessons learned into project workflows
• Provide actionable strategies for applying the framework in your organization.
• Diagnose why some projects succeed when others stall
