Managing projects
7.2 Post Completion Audit (PCA)
This is carried out a few months after the project has been completed.
Designed to review the success of the project as a whole
as well as to receive the user's feedback on it.
It may also highlight specific issues with the project and the review meeting may
organise a set of actions to deal with these issues.
It should also establish whether the project has helped the business to deliver the
benefits defined in the original business case.
The primary benefit derived from the post-completion audit is to augment the
organisations experience and knowledge. Other benefits of PCAs include more
realistic forecasting of a project's costs and revenues, enhanced understanding of
project failures, and improved future decision making and project management
performance.
