Criteria required to evaluate a digital product or solution 11 ATAR , 12 GEN

 Background

  • Project Management is about producing worthwhile products in an organised way.
  • To get worthwhile products clever planning is essential.
  • Evaluation is also essential to ensure products are worthwhile.

Criteria 1 - Why Evaluate?

  • Have a purpose for evaluating. What is the main focus of the evaluation?
  • Is it to get the best product now?
  • Is it to improve to make a better product next time? 
  • Is it both of these?
  • Who is the evaluation for? 
  • Does it need to be presented to a client for review and possible further changes to the product

Criteria 2 - Does it meet the requirement?

  • Does the product do what it was designed to do?
  • If it is for a website or software developed such as web-authoring, then formally testing the functionality is essential. Make up test requirement sheets that provide a sequence of actions that review all components on the website. Give the evaluation sheets to as many test rabbits :)   as you can, to give a better idea of how successful the product is. Using this method examines the effectiveness and efficiency of the product.
  • How usable is the product? Is it user friendly and predictable in its layout? What are its strengths? What are its weaknesses?

Criteria 3 - Cost

  • Did the product come in under budget?
  • What areas led to cost blowouts?
  • Were these cost blowouts under your control?
  • What could be done better next time to prevent cost blowouts?

Criteria 4 - Time Shortage

  • Did the product completion meet the forecast timeline for the product?
  • If not, What caused the delay?
  • Was it something under your control?
  • What could be done better next time to prevent time blowouts?

Criteria 5 - Scope Creep

  • Did the amount of work needed for this project change? Were items added to the project which caused it to take longer or cost more?
