Why Conduct Project Management Reviews? 

Project management reviews provide opportunities for you to report project schedule and budget status, highlight project accomplishments, identify problems, escalate issues, and elicit management support.  The main purpose of a project management review is to provide general guidance to you as the project manager with an objective assessment of a project's health.  Reviews should be conducted by an independent group of skilled reviewers outside of the project who can view the project objectively.

Different types of project management reviews are held based upon the timing of the review.  Project review types are:

In addition, WWPMM  defines the following types of health reviews:   

As the project manager, you must not rely totally on prescribed reviews but should exercise judgment in determining which reviews are necessary and when they should be held to make the project a success.

There is a WWPMM subdomain, work pattern, and work product that can assist you with project reviews.  The WWPMM subdomain, titled Reviews, is under the Quality domain. 

The WWPMM work pattern is titled Participate in Audit or Review and the work product is the Quality Review Documentation work product description. 

The documents, as well as descriptions and templates for all WWPMM work products, are located at the WWPMM Web site.
