5.1 The government agrees with the Committee’s recommendation. Target implementation date: February 2023 5.2 The agency has a robust process for regularly capturing lessons learned from its EM expansion projects. This is an ongoing process owned and managed by the EM Programme Management Office. Lessons learned are captured at key points in each project’s lifecycle (for example, after each delivery release) and involve all key stakeholders. These lessons are agreed at the appropriate governance board and shared for awareness amongst the wider EM team and wider department where applicable. The programme also shares knowledge and experience between projects through sharing of resources. The agency recognises more can be done to embed lessons formally and consistently, including: • ensuring lessons are regularly and consistently reviewed, agreed, and shared across the programme to inform the design of future schemes; • introducing a more robust governance and assurance approach to ensure each recommendation and decision brought to any EM governance board has considered and embedded the relevant key lessons in the design of future schemes; and • sharing lessons more widely across the agency and the department where applicable. 5.3 By February 2023, the agency will produce a lesson learned strategy and approach that will be embedded across the EM programme and with stakeholders. This strategy will build on the work to date and ensure lessons learned are rigorously and consistently captured, agreed, and shared and subsequently robustly and formally embedded in the design and delivery of future schemes.
