What is post implementation review? When it should be done? Why is it required? All this has been discussed in last three posts. Let us now understand what ideally would be the components of a post implementation review. As discussed earlier, some components can be answered immediately at the completion of a project with a formal closure. But for answering some other components, customer needs some time for project to run in the absence of project team, experience it, feel it, see the user’s reaction on the way things are happening in the product when it is in use.
Infact before filling the post implementation review, it is advisable to use the software at its maxima, as extensively as possible, involving all key user’s areas, using all inflow and outflow procedures. The basic guidelines required while filling a post implementation review can be take up in my next post. Let us also understand that this questionnaire has to be quite elaborative and descriptive.
