I came across this interesting article on the 'Project Times' website and thought id share it with you.
Interestingly enough having started this course on PM, I was on the assumption that once a project is completed, that there'd be some kind of review to measure it's success like a performance review of some sort.
This article interestingly pointed out to the fact that organisations undertaking project performance reviews isn't a universal case.
This was rather puzzling to me because I expected differently, however, from reading the article there were some good points mentioned as to why performance reviews aren't generally held by organisations.
The reasons are mentioned below:
Firstly;
There is generally a fear of confronting failures and it's causes as failure is generally looked at as being 'bad'.
Secondly;
Who is to blame? There is fear of blaming as that may cause a resistance and defensiveness rather than motivation
Thirdly;
Lack of time - stakeholders are trying to get as many projects completed so they want to move on to the next project as soon as they can.
Finally;
Lack of skilled practitioners to review the performance. A skilled facilitator would be able to help confront ugly realities that the organisation itself might not want to.
There are a few more points mentioned in the article so feel free to read away. I just pointed at some of the eye opening reasons I benefited from here.
