Changelog from 13.05.2025
Version 1.12.0
New: "Lessons Learned" Module
The new Lessons Learned module in WORKSPACE.PM offers project teams the opportunity to systematically, differentiatedly, and cross-project utilize experiences for the first time. In addition to classic entries like “Learned”, “Needs Improvement”, or “Positive”, specific scopes (Project, Container, Organization) and project labels can be assigned to each entry. If an entry is marked as “relevant for other projects”, it becomes immediately visible across projects – directly filterable via the global Lessons Learned or when creating new projects. This way, insights are not only recorded but actively integrated into new initiatives.
Particularly innovative: Projects linked with an existing Lessons Learned entry can add their own experiences – through a special comment function per project context. This creates a collective body of experiential knowledge that dynamically expands without generating redundant entries. Project teams can document their individual perspective on a topic and thus promote organization-wide learning processes. This solution is not a “Lessons Learned graveyard”, but an intelligent experiential network for lived knowledge management in everyday project life.
Submit Access Requests for Permission Errors Directly at Project Level
If a user does not have access to a project or container element, they now receive not just an error message, but can directly submit an access request within the system. This request is forwarded to the responsible project manager and can be approved or denied by them – optionally with a reason. This saves communication effort outside the system and makes permission handling transparent and efficient.
Especially in organizations with role-specific differentiated access rights, this feature significantly improves user guidance. Users can transparently express their access needs, and project managers retain control over sensitive project data. Additionally, central handling strengthens governance and significantly relieves administration.
