Project review
A project review is used to review a completed project or a completed project phase in order to learn from the experience gained for future projects. Such a project review deals with the strengths and the positive aspects of the project as well as with the weaknesses and the negative aspects. In ongoing projects, a project review is carried out for current problems in order to bring the project back into a predictable framework.
The results of a project review are recorded in a document, for example " Lessons Learned ", in order to preserve them for the future and to make them accessible to those not involved in the project. Lessons learned include knowledge of best practices and the do's and don'ts .
A distinction can be made between a project review, which relates to the entirety of a project, and a milestone review, which relates to a project phase.
The project review can be improved by capturing as many subject areas and quality characteristics as possible in metrics in order to be able to quantitatively evaluate project improvements . Checklists simplify the project review considerably and also make them reproducible. A project review that cannot be reproduced produces results that are difficult to assess.
The project review is part of quality management and thus an organizational aid in projects.
