KC 3.4.6 - Post Implementation Reviews/Audits

A Post Implementation Review (PIR) is a formal review of a programme or project. It is used to answer the question: Did we achieve what we set out to do, in business terms and if not, what should be done?

For a construction, development or procurement project, a PIR is undertaken when there has been time to demonstrate the business benefits of a new service or building. For a major programme of change there may be several PIRs over time.
If Gateway reviews are carried out on the project, the PIR is a major input to Gateway Review

These reviews could relate to:
· Process/Project Kick-Off (E.g. Proposal, ToR)
· Definition of Requirements
· Process/System Design
· System Build
· Testing
· Training
· Implementation
· Rollout
· Communication
· Project Management

Through these review all or few of these may be summarized:

· Lessons Learned
· Successes
· Areas for Improvement
· Cost Benefit Review
· Resources
· Benefits
· Open Issues
· Process Deployment Issues
· Additional Issues

I strongly recommend everyone to go through the following article to know completely about Post Implementation Reviews.
