After Completing the Project<br />
When the last milestone is reached, we say that the <strong>project</strong> has been completed.<br />
What then remains is to reflect and assess the processes from the beginning up to<br />
the end. The team should meet and answer some questions. This will be Step 5.<br />
Step 5: Project Evaluation<br />
The following questions will guide decision-making and the way forward.<br />
• When was the <strong>project</strong> completed?<br />
• Were the milestones and exit points completed within the target time scale?<br />
• What were the main causes <strong>of</strong> delay, if any?<br />
• What went well?<br />
• What went badly?<br />
• Who worked well or badly, and why?<br />
• How well and efficiently were resources used?<br />
• Why did the <strong>project</strong> succeed or fail?<br />
• Was the product <strong>of</strong> good quality?<br />
• What changes could made in the future for the better <strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> a<br />
comparable <strong>project</strong>?<br />
• What lessons can be learned from the <strong>project</strong>?<br />
• What can be done to improve teamwork?<br />
• Did the <strong>project</strong> receive full institutional support?<br />
On the basis <strong>of</strong> what has been discussed above, contribute your own views by<br />
working on this activity, which is based on the <strong>project</strong> topic already mentioned earlier,<br />
namely, Developing a communication course for immigration <strong>of</strong>ficers.<br />
