project review

A checkpoint held when a phase or the overall project ends to review progress and results, confirm the value achieved, and decide whether to proceed to the next phase or transition the work to operations.

Key Points

  • Occurs at the close of a phase, release, or the entire project.
  • Examines status versus plan and objectives, and verifies value delivered.
  • Produces a go/no-go/hold decision, approvals, and follow-up actions.
  • Involves sponsor, customer/product owner, project manager, and team using deliverables, metrics, and acceptance criteria.

Example

After finishing Phase 2, the team runs a project review with the sponsor and product owner. They compare completed features to acceptance criteria, assess schedule and cost performance, confirm expected benefits, and approve moving to Phase 3 with two corrective actions assigned.

PMP Example Question

Which meeting is held at the end of a phase or project to check status, validate value delivered, and decide whether to continue to the next phase or transition to operations?

  1. Sprint retrospective
  2. Daily standup
  3. Project review
  4. Backlog refinement session

Correct Answer: C — Project review

Explanation: A project review is a formal checkpoint that evaluates results and value to make a go/no-go or handoff decision. The other options are routine agile ceremonies with different purposes.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Seven sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
