PROJECT REVIEW

The project is in the implementation phase, but are you still in control or losing the thread? To find out, regular project reviews [22] must be carried out.

For example, you can implement reviews at phase transitions.

Ask yourself and your team (SPM, WPO):

  • What is the project's current status in terms of quality, deadline and cost objective achievement?
  • What was to be achieved, what was achieved?
  • What problems were encountered?
  • Why?
  • Are the project requirements being met?
  • What does the project manager have to do to bring the project back into line when deviations occur?
  • Do the objectives have to be revised?
  • Can float time be used?

The review looks at both the technical and emotional aspects of the project. The results of the review are used to look ahead and practise risk management again. In this way, risk management becomes a valuable companion. The decisions made are then incorporated into the planning.

Procedures after the project review
The project manager presents the results of the review to the client in a presentation. The deputy project manager may be invited to these events.

Presentation

Structure of a presentation [21].

If a presentation is given according to the example above, it should be good in terms of content, free and entertaining. It does not matter whether the presentation is given by the project manager or the sub-project manager.
