For example, after completing a year long project to establish a new quality management process for your organization, you want to make sure that what you set out to do was actually achieved. Your objective wasn't to simply deliver a process – but rather, to deliver the process that addresses the specific business need you intended to meet. This is the real measure of success.
To make the most of the benefits that the project can deliver, however, you also need to check to see if further improvements will deliver still greater benefit.
You also need to ensure that the lessons learned during the project are not forgotten. You can more effectively design and execute future projects when you take advantage of lessons learned through experience of previous projects.
Confirming scope, outputs and outcomes are very critical before initiating any projects. planning and scheduling can come later depending on available resources and demand.
