Types, Objectives & Techniques of Reviews in Project Management
By Thulasi Suresh

There are 3 types of reviews in Project Management:

1. In Process/In Progress
   • Objectives
     • To know the status of the project or product at interim
     • To know whether the planned or actual value of the schedule and effort will be met or not
     • To know the utilization effect of the resources
   • Techniques
     • Informal (One to one method)
     • Walkthrough (detailed examination of a product on a step by step)

2. Phase End/Decision Making

   • Objectives
     • To verify phase objectives are met
     • To verify phase exit criteria
     • To verify phase performance in terms of effort, schedule, and quality
   • Techniques
     • Formal Reviews
       1. Inspections

3. Post Mortem/Post Implementation

   • Objectives
     • To identify if we achieved or not what we were set to do in business terms, and what should’ve been done
     • To identify the process improvement
     • To demonstrate the effectiveness of the process
   • Techniques
     • Formal Reviews
