Evaluate results
The previous
assessment of the model investigated how accurate the model was, the evaluate
results sub-step investigates the models suitability based on the business
success factors set at the start of the project (The Modelling Agency, 2000
p.30).
Review process
Using the conclusions
of the evaluate results sub-step it may be that an area for further development
of the model is identified and additional work is required; this may because of
the amount of time that has elapsed since the original specification was drawn
up or even down to something being overlooked in the business understanding
sub-steps (The Modelling Agency, 2000 p.31).
Determine next steps
Following the
assessment and results of the review process the next steps can be decided on,
there are three possible avenues;
Further development work
If additional requirements
are identified during the review process then it may be necessary to carry out
additional work on the model (The Modelling Agency, 2000 p.31), it may also be necessary
to carry out further development work if the model does not meet the initial
requirements (The Modelling Agency, 2000 p.30).
Close the project
IT projects
especially are known for going out of tolerance in terms of cost and time
(McManus et al, 2008), in some circumstances it is therefore necessary to close
a project prematurely (OFC, 2005 p.71) to save resources. The reasons behind closing the project may be
complex such as industry changes leading to the original problem defined no
longer existing and as such shouldn’t always be seen as a failure.
Deploy the model
In the event of the
evaluation providing the model successfully in meeting the requirements, the
model can move to the next stage of being deployed (The Modelling Agency, 2000
p.31).
