Question

Why do you think organizations tend to ignore post project evaluations? Based on this module or from experience how would you go about evaluating projects?

Answer 1

Project evaluation is the process of guiding a team to achieve goals and meet the criteria for success within a set period of time. The main challenge for project management is to achieve all project objectives within the set limits. This information is often described in project documents created at an early stage of the development process. The main limitations are scope, time, quality and budget. The second challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary resources and implement them to achieve pre-determined goals.

The purpose of project evaluation is to develop a complete project that meets the client's goals. In many cases, the goal of project management is to create or modify customer information to meet customer goals. Once the client's goals are clearly established, they must influence the decisions of other people involved in the project, such as project managers, designers, contractors and subcontractors. Improperly defined goals or project management goals that are strictly defined affect decisions.

A project is a temporary activity designed to produce a single product, service, or outcome with a specific start and end (usually time-limited and often determined by budget or staff) implemented to achieve goals and objectives. Special purpose is usually to get useful changes or add value. The temporary nature of a project is the opposite of a normal business (or operation) in which repetitive activities are permanent or semi-permanent activities for the production of a product or service. In practice, management of such different production methods requires the development of different technical skills and management strategies.
