Post-Implementation Review
The post-implementation review is the process of determining and evaluating the performance of a system against the requirements and objectives defined in the business case. The post-implementation review is conducted once a project is implemented and completed. The following are the objectives of conducting a post-implementation review:
- To determine the extent to which a project met its objectives and addressed the originally defined requirements
- To determine the cost-benefit analysis and return on investment
- To determine the lessons learned from the project to improve future projects
The project development team and business users should jointly conduct a post-implementation review. From the IS audit perspective, the post-implementation review is conducted to determine the adequacy and effectiveness of a system. The IS auditor’s prime focus should be to determine the controls built into the new system.
