Al Hellwege Bridgewater, Nj, United States
Toward continuous learning, in conducting a typical project debrief (a post-implementation review or postmortum) I usually have team members identify anonymously (by specific phase of the project: Specific strengths, Improvement Opportunities and Recommendations that I summarize in a final report. I would like to be able to quantify the benefits of having conducted the project debrief. What suggestions does anyone have to demonstrte the value added of doing project debriefs?
Thank you!!

Al, when I do project debriefs I always do it in context of the following: Was the project completed on time and within budget? Was the project delivered as promised? Were the objectives of the project realized? Did the stakeholders approve of the process that was followed? Did the project team approve of the process that was followed?
I find that these questions frame a project debriefing very well. Improvements made in context to these questions will be easier to quantify and can even help in building metrics for future projects to be measured against.
Hope this helps.

I am a Director in the Office of the Premier of the Free State Province in South Africa; responsible for Organizational Development and Human Resource Management. I have assessed project reviews and develped a tool kit to quantify the assessments of projects. The purpose was to design a Web Based Post Project Review Tool Kit. The tool can be used during the Project where results will guide the project. It is however best used at the end of a project to evaluate project failure / success. The Tool has 375 items to look for and determine process and intergration matters. The tool is available on request.

I'm not so sure.

With 375 things to look at, it's probably as easy to give a "losing" grade to a project as it is to give a "winning" grade. Miss 1 of the 375, and someone won't be happy.
