Facilitator Handbook 2005 - PRIMIS

PRIMIS Facilitator Handbook
Annual Review
Typical key stages and events for discussion at a project review
• The specific objectives for the scheme
• Progress against objectives
• Reasons for non-achievement
• Encountered problems and how they were resolved
• Changes in direction
• Unexpected benefits
• Collaboration with other projects
• Overall satisfaction
• Funding, and further requirements
• Action plan for the way forward
The information facilitator may also be encouraged to conduct a self-evaluation SWOT
(strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) exercise to help highlight any areas of
achievement or strengths that could be utilised further. The SWOT analysis will also help
identify any areas that may be causing concern for the facilitator. The SWOT analysis process
may be held in confidence between the facilitator and the Learning Consultant.
Learning Objectives
The training should provide the information facilitator with an understanding of:
• what an annual review should include
• why an scheme review is needed
• what steps are required when conducting an annual review
• what methods can be used in an annual review
The training will also help the information facilitator identify:
• how the results of an annual review can be used to develop an action plan to improve
their ability to project manage their PRIMIS programme
• any gaps in training and missed milestones and the reasons for these
• where the project has succeeded and any lessons that could be shared.
