On completion of a computer project, users and the project team should conduct a Post Implementation Review (PIR) on the areas listed below:

• to evaluate whether the system objectives have been fully achieved and the problems identified have been satisfactorily solved;

• to evaluate the utilization of resources and recommend adjustments to both non-recurrent and recurrent expenditure and costs if considered necessary;

• to evaluate the realization of benefits, including savings in posts, and recommend adjustments if considered necessary;

• to evaluate whether the implementation schedule as contained in the original funding submission has been adhered to; and

• to identify necessary improvements to the computer system and recommend a course of action to implement them.
