Web Based Project Management Software and Project Completion

The final activity within a project is the review of its success by an independent party. Success is determined by how well it performed against the defined objectives and conformed to the management processes outlined in the planning phase. To determine how well it performed, the following types of questions are answered:

• Did it result in the benefits defined in the Business Case?
• Did it achieve the objectives outlined in the Terms of Reference?
• Did it operate within the scope of the Terms of Reference?
• Did the deliverables meet the criteria defined in the Quality Plan?
• Was it delivered within the schedule outlined in the Project Plan?
• Was it delivered within the budget outlined in the Financial Plan?

To determine how well it conformed, an assessment is made of the level of conformity to the management processes outlined in the Quality Plan.

These results, as well as a list of the key achievements and lessons learnt are documented within a Post Implementation Review and presented to the Customer / Project Sponsor for approval.
