Managing IT Projects

 Post Implementation Review

 

Once you've implemented the new system and allowed it to settle down, you should carry out a review of the project to learn the lessons, evaluate the costs and consider whether the hoped-for benefits have materialised.

The review should include:

 

Check that all the project activities are complete and properly signed off
Check that the delivered system fulfils the users' specification and the detailed functional specification
Check that the technical aspects of the system perform properly
Measure the benefits
Measure the costs
Collate the lessons for the future
What was done well
What could have been done better
Change in-house processes, approvals and documentation, where required, to incorporate the lessons learned
