Post-Planning Review Prevents Poor Project Performance

David Antonioni

PM Network 43 (October 1997)

Project managers are usually encouraged to conduct evaluations of their project management processes at the closeout of projects. Although end-of-project evaluations are valuable, there is another approach that may contribute more to project success and at the same time improve the organization’s overall project management practices. Post-planning project management reviews can be more effective at achieving both short- and long-term company goals.
