Project Review Report Template  
 


This post implementation review report template provides you with a guided structure for reviewing and capturing the resulting recommendations so that you can update the necessary processes for future use.

An important aspect of any project and its associated management is the way in which it is monitored and managed. There is a fundamental need for detailed and accurate reporting throughout the whole project life-span. These project post implementation review reports play a fundamental and vital role in the management of project communications.

Through well structured and planned PIR reports a project manger can ensure that the right people are kept appropriately informed and their expectations managed. Your reports need to record and communicate information suitable to the intended recipients. Informing everyone about every aspect and incident within a project would be unacceptable and is unnecessary.
