These points build on previous blogs about the benefits of looking back over completed projects to see what we can learn. In this post I share some questions that one might pose about some of the “overall” indicators about how a project was planned and executed.
- How accurate were the initial cost estimates and schedule?
- What was needed in budget and resources, above the original estimates, to complete the project successfully?
- How effective was the change control process?
- How effective was the issues management process?
- How effective was the project governance?
- How well were external dependencies understood at the outset of the project?
- Was the project a success? Why or why not?
- Were the needs and expectations of the customer(s) met?
- How satisfied was the customer?
- Were the project objectives met?
- Were the business objectives met?
