Differences in project performance reviews and their effect on project outcomes

H.J.C. van der Krift; Arjan J. van Weele; Josette M.P. Gevers

Abstract

Although the application of performance reviews is believed to be beneficial for projects, there is little evidence to support this claim. Therefore, we studied the current application of and follow-up on performance reviews in projects. Results show that both the application of and follow-up on performance reviews differ between companies. We find that the use of performance reviews contributes positively to project outcomes, especially if they are applied bilaterally. Remarkably, whereas companies tend to review process variables, project outcomes are affected more by reviewing input and output variables. Hence, thoughtful consideration of the application of performance reviews is needed.
