The situation described in the question suggests that the project is facing an issue that may impact its successful completion. Specifically, two competitors are issuing calendars to MNO's customers by the middle of November, which means that the project's output may become irrelevant or less valuable if it is not completed by that time.
One of the options presented by the Project Manager is to close the project prematurely. This would require recording key facts related to the project, including the fact that the staff photo sessions were disruptive to the Engineering Department as they had been scheduled during peak work times without consultation with the Engineering Manager.
The question asks which product should show this fact, and provides four options: Follow-on action recommendations, Lessons Report, Project closure notification, and Risk Register. Of these, the most appropriate product is likely the Lessons Report.
A Lessons Report is a document that captures the lessons learned during a project, including both positive and negative experiences. It is used to inform future projects and improve the organization's overall project management capabilities. The fact that the staff photo sessions were disruptive to the Engineering Department is a negative experience that should be captured in the Lessons Report as a lesson learned.
The Follow-on action recommendations are a product that outlines specific actions that should be taken after a project is completed. It is not the most appropriate product for capturing information about the disruptive staff photo sessions.
The Project closure notification is a document that formally closes a project and provides information about its outcomes, including any issues or risks that were encountered. While it may be relevant to include information about the disruptive photo sessions in the closure notification, it is not the most appropriate product for capturing lessons learned.
The Risk Register is a document that captures information about potential risks to a project and the strategies for managing them. While the disruptive photo sessions could be considered a risk, the Risk Register is not the most appropriate product for capturing lessons learned about the experience.
In summary, the most appropriate product for capturing the fact that the staff photo sessions were disruptive to the Engineering Department is the Lessons Report. This document should be used to capture both positive and negative experiences during the project, with the aim of improving future project management capabilities.
