  7. Lessons Learned • When the product of the project is a study, it is critical to the project to include a requirement in the contract for a technical writer. • When critical information is gathered through an interview process, note gathering should extend to include voice recording to assure all important information is documented. • Even in small projects It is difficult for the Project Manager and the Project Team Leader to be the same individual.
