Independent Project Review
​
Typically, Independent Project Reviews are commissioned when projects are in trouble and need rescuing. This is a case of 'closing the gate after the horse has bolted'. In these circumstances an Independent Project Review becomes a post-mortem.
​
Rather, Independent Project Reviews should be commissioned at regular intervals throughout the project lifecycle.
​
Review is not Rear View. Review means taking a fresh look and is forward looking. The focus is on continuous improvement to maximize opportunities and manage risk.
​
To be truly independent and unbiased, an Independent Project Review should be conducted by a person or persons external to the Project Sponsor, Project Team, and Project Stakeholders. Otherwise, the findings will be biased by one or more of many biases including:
​
-
Confirmation bias
-
Recency bias
-
Anchoring
-
Egocentrism
-
Loss aversion
-
Sunk cost fallacy
-
Escalation of commitment
-
Controllability bias
-
Excessive optimism
-
Overconfidence bias
-
Regency bias
-
Groupthink
