| Important Instructions: Please read carefully This written submission involves student-initiated reflection (lesson 1) and one guided (tutor led) reflection (lesson 2). Student initiated reflection involves a process where students choose what experiences to reflect upon concerning lessons learnt. In contrast, guided (or tutor led) reflection involves a process where the tutor guides the student concerning what experiences to reflect upon, which then prompts students to identify lessons learnt. 1. IntrODUCTION (2 marks) Instructions: Provide a brief introduction (two paragraphs), covering the following: Explain what reflective practice is (provide at least one supporting reference); Briefly explain the aim or purpose of the lessons learnt (or learned) process in project management (provide at least one supporting reference); and An overview of what this assignment covers below. 2 LESSONS LEARNT: FRAMEWORK (6 marks) 2.1Lessons learnt framework explained (1 mark) Instructions: Briefly describe (in one paragraph) about one lessons learnt (or learned) framework that could be applied in project management (provide at least one supporting reference for the framework identified).

Instructions: This lesson learnt involves guided (tutor led) reflection. Tutors will discuss the area of reflection in scheduled tutorials in Weeks 9 – 11.
Refer to the situation below and reflect on it. Explain how this situation made you feel and what you learnt from reflecting on the situation.
Risk management is a critical element in all projects. Negative risks (threats) need to be considered very seriously to ensure that the project does not get negatively impacted. A negative risk, if materialised, requires corrective actions to manage negative impacts in future. On the other hand, a positive risk can have a positive impact on a project if managed appropriately.
As a student undertaking PPMP20008 in Term 1 2020, recall a situation that related to a positive or a negative experience during the term. Now reflect on this situation in light of the risk management topic discussed in Week 5 and answer the three questions below.
1. Situation – (Describe a situation when undertaking PPMP20008 in Term 1, 2020 that involved a positive or a negative experience);
