Yours is a very good idea. Indeed at the PEo, we have implemented exactlty this. We have a Planning Case Studies section where you will find details of projects and how they were planned. These include an as-built / actual programme and photographs of the project also.
I do agree that some information regarding the project could be sensitive in nature. However the idea is to have sufficient information regarding the planning process for various types of projects. You tell me that you are following this practice for IT projects. Even I know a couple of construction companies that set out to implement this procedure. However I am not aware of how far they have been successful in this.

This is a really sound idea. We have implemented this in the organisation I work for. All projects contribute, in exactly the way you describe, the unique features of the project, problems encountered and their solutions. Also the things that went better than expected and why this happened. All this information is held on a database and is available to our project teams.
Unfortunately, some of our projects are extremely sensitive and we would not be able to make this information available to a wider audience. However if, as you suggested, Planning Planet were to make a database available, so that members could input the useful things that they had learned from their projects, this could only benefit the PP community.

You can see this by clicking on this link.... Planning Engineers Organisation - Planning Case Studies
Whilst this section of the PEO is still quite new, it is being added to regularly.

First rate idea!
