Articles and Books

Below are selected books, refereed articles,whitepapers, and other media that I have reviewed (and own as part of my library), which are related to the pursuit of lessons learned as a domain. I am defining a domain as the things I personally needed to know to fully grasp the subject matter and make it useful to me in my professional and academic endeavors.

For the most part, these references have been reviewed in the context of my dissertation. I continue to review materials for academic and professional interest in these topics and will update this page. This being said, there are many other things that I have reviewed, but would not post for a variety of reasons.

Note: this content is being posted because internet searches will not necessarily bring it up. For example, professional associations publish trade magazines or journals that discuss lessons learned. It takes more "digging" to uncover this content.
