Do you recognise these issues?
• “We keep making the same mistakes with our projects.”
• “We thought the scope was clear to all our stakeholders, but this was not the case.”
• “Our timetable was unrealistic, and we didn’t have the resources to deliver it.”
• “We expected the project to make things happen, when we (the project board) had responsibility.”

Our Purpose
1. To increase project success using independent review.
2. To improve our clients’ capability to deliver projects through our commitment to knowledge transfer.
3. To support continuous improvement by identifying and presenting lessons from project reviews.
