Create a lessons learned document for [PROJECT]. Structure: (1) Project overview (scope, timeline, outcome), (2) What went well (5-7 items with impact), (3) What could improve (5-7 items with root cause), (4) What we would do differently, (5) Recommendations for future projects, (6) Key metrics vs plan.

Each section should have a brief description of what goes there.

Create a detailed project plan from this brief. Include: (1) Project Overview — objective, scope, success criteria, (2) Phases — break the project into 3-5 logical phases, (3) Tasks — list tasks within each phase with estimated duration, (4) Milestones — key checkpoints with dates, (5) Dependencies — which tasks depend on others, (6) Resource Requirements — roles needed for each phase, (7) Risk Register — top 5 risks with likelihood, impact, and mitigation, (8) Communication Plan — who gets updated, how often, through what channel. Present as a structured document with tables.
