INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the lessons learned document for the BIM Modeling that BAM Decorient
engaged with BAM Infra (DMC) for the IKEA-2 Jakarta Garden City (IKEA-2)Project is to capture
the project’s lessons learned in a formal document for use by other project managers and
engineering managers on similar future projects. This document may be used as part of new
project planning for similar projects in order to determine what problems occurred and how
those problems were handled and may be avoided in the future. Additionally, this document
details what went well with the project and why, so that other project managers may capitalize
on these actions. Project managers and/or Engineering managers may also use this document
to determine who the project team members were in order to solicit feedback for planning their
projects in the future. This document will be formally communicated with the organization and
will become a part of the organizational assets and archives.
The lessons learned from the IKEA-2 Project are compiled from project journal entries
throughout the project lifecycle. Lessons learned were also be gathered from both realized and
unrealized risks in the project risk register as well as through interviews with project team
members and other stakeholder as necessary. The lessons learned from this project are to be
used as references for future projects and contain an adequate level of detail so that other
project managers may have enough information on which to help base their project plans. The
lessons learned in this document are categorized by project knowledge area. These knowledge
areas consist of: procurement management, risk management, integration management, quality
management, time management, cost management, scope management, human resource
management, and communications management. NOTE: some knowledge areas may not
contain lessons learned if none were documented throughout the project lifecycle.
The following chart lists the lessons learned for the IKEA-2 project. These lessons are
categorized by project knowledge area and descriptions, impacts, and recommendations are
provided for consideration on similar future new construction projects. It is important to note
that not only failures or shortcomings are included but successes as well.

The lessons learned for the IKE-2 Project will be contained in the organizational lessons learned
knowledge base maintained by the head office (HO). This information will be cataloged under
the project’s year (2019) and the type of project (New Commercial Building Construction) for
future reference. This information will be valuable for any project manager or engineering
manager assigned to a new construction project who plans to engage service BIM Modelling
contract in the future.

LESSONS LEARNED APPLIED FROM PREVIOUS PROJECTS
The IKEA-2 Project utilized several lessons learned from past projects:
1. The addition of a risk associated with planning cost and schedule based on external
dependencies (i.e. shop drawing approvals) was determined during the planning process
by consulting the lessons learned from the expansion project from 2019.
2. The planning of acceptable quality standards was based on lessons learned from the
Startup Site Construction Project of 2019. By planning for quality standards, the project
team was able to avoid schedule and cost overruns by clearly communicating acceptable
quality standards to all contractors involved with the project.
As indicated in the lessons learned chart above, the IKEA-2 Project did not have a process for
reviewing and approving requested changes in requirements or project scope. Not only is this a
lesson learned for similar future projects; but the organization must ensure that all project
managers are aware of the need for this process to be included in the planning of all future
projects. Therefore, it is recommended that prior to work beginning on any new project, the
project manager must brief the project sponsor on the process for requesting and approving
changes to project scope.
