When a project or programme closes, attention usually shifts quickly to the next initiative. Deadlines are met, reports are filed, and the team moves on. However, the question remains: did the project deliver the promised value?
The new draft standard ISO/DIS 21513: Project, programme and portfolio management – Guidance on post-project and programme evaluation addresses precisely this point. It provides leaders with a structured way to evaluate completed projects and programs, ensuring that outcomes, benefits, and lessons are not only identified but also used to inform and improve future decisions.
