Continuous Improvement

Harnessing the valuable lessons from a project and learning from the lessons is key to project maturity. QVC can assist you to answer the valuable question “Did we achieve what we set out to do, in business terms and if not why not” through a formal review of a project or program. We assist clients to ensure that lessons learnt stay with their organisation and add value to future work when the project managers move on, and they frequently do.

QVC assists clients through a structured project implementation review process, using our standard templates and processes to ensure that you:

• Do not repeat the same mistakes from project to project
• Improve the probability of balancing the constraint so as to not have cost or schedule overruns on future projects.

Timing of a project implementation review is important as it needs to correlate to when benefits are expected to be achieved e.g. for a construction, development or procurement project, a project implementation review is undertaken when there has been time to demonstrate the business benefits of a new service or building. For a major program of change there may be several reviews undertaken over time.

The output from the project implementation review is a major input into the Gateway review.
