III. Post-Project Review:
Even though the project plan was completed and met all the standards that does not mean the
project is successful (Harrison and Lock 2017). Simply completing the project does not ensure
that the organization benefits from the project’s outcome. The objective was not to deliver the
process but rather to deliver the process that addresses specific business and check for further
improvement.
There are several factors needs to consider for review the post-project. Post-project
review was conducted by certain methods and practices as discussed below.
Common Processes Used:  External Team
 Validation by IT manager
 Meting
Experience: The experience of the whole project was
pretty much good. The planning for
evaluation of e-commerce website was
effective though some critical problems were
faced such as lack of incentive, clear
guidelines and involvement.

15ICT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The proposed tools and techniques for review
the project
The scope: the scope of the review must be
reviewed beforehand to ensure the importance
of the project (Fleming and Koppelman
2017).
 Key Documents: it is essential to
gather key project documents to assess
the project planning process.
 Future Shaping
 Recollections
Disaster plan: every plan requires to review once a year. This project also needs to review each
time environment of the market changes. Disaster recovery plan is essential in order to review
and update the project with two factors (Boud, Cohen and Sampson 2014).
 Environmental factors and the disaster recovery Plan: Environmental factors often alters
within the organization (Burke 2013). Most common environmental changes they can
face are evolvement of new facility and hardware and software updates.
 External factors and disaster recovery plan: the project can effected by many external
factors such as third party access and data loss.
 Computer room environment: computer rooms needs to be secure with
climate control and alternate power supply.
 Data and Restoration: the information of clients must be stored in a secure
system. The information also needs to be backed-up in case of data loss.

16ICT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 Hardware and Software: network, server and other periphrases needs to be
monitored properly.
