The role of case studiem and management experience in the education and personal development …basic principles, overarching rules includes - among others - experience managementpointing to the need to consider these experiences in managing new projects.A principle of USING THE EXPERIENCE recommends to project teams referencesof actual knowledge to knowledge from previous projects. The project managershould search for, save and use the experience during the project cycle.Learning processes based on experience by PRINCE2 run in all stages of projectmanagement, i.e. from preparation to launch the project through implementation stagesand ending on the closing process.PRINCE2 recommends at the beginning of the project to review the previous similarprojects in order to see whether the previously accumulated experience can be usedin the current project. During the project, the own experience should be included in allreports and surveys. The purpose of such action is to seek improvements to the currentimplementation. During the closing the project experience should be codified, recordedand stored for future projects. In addition, it should be emphasized that the PRINCE2recommends the use of a log of experience as a collection of all the knowledge usedduring the project.This review was aimed to show that aspects of knowledge and experience managementare present in IT projects at every step. These processes apply to both work withall project stakeholders, as well as between the manager and the team. On the otherhand the recommendations contained in project management methodologies also formallyrelate to the management experience and knowledge. So there are two questions:can you learn how to use the experience? Can project managers educations draw attentionto aspects of the use of the experience?There is no doubt that the management experience and knowledge is a very importantarea for each project. However, if the powers of managers can be developedprecisely in this area? Typical managers training can rely on the experiences of otherprojects through the analysis of case studies. However, it should be stressed that experiencesincluded in typical case studies often are connected with a row of simplifications.Hence, managers training allowing to strengthen their competence in the use ofthe experience and knowledge management based on typical case studies are not fullyeffective. The rest of the chapter proposes the use of project management tools and adedicated module containing a record of experience that can assist project managers inlearning based on experience.5. Learning based on experienceEarlier analysis aimed to indicate how important for project management is theskillful use of knowledge and experience. It should be noted that from the point ofview of the manager of the project knowledge and experience management is a twowayaction.42
