• Chose D2

  The post-implementation review (PIR) aims to determine if the application actually delivers the expected value and meets the business requirements in practice, beyond just initial testing or project metrics. Comparing expected benefits (defined in the business case before implementation) to actual benefits realized after six months shows whether the application is effectively supporting business objectives. Why other options are less suitable: A. Project closure report and lessons-learned documents: These are useful for understanding project execution but do not directly measure business requirement fulfillment after implementation. B. UAT results and user sign-off: Important during implementation but may not reflect real-world usage or ongoing business value after six months. C. Difference between approved budget and actual expenditures: Relevant to cost management but does not address whether the application meets business needs.

• Chose D2

  There is no solid reason to choose B over D. Since, it is a post-implementation review, the focus should be verifying the planned benefits visa-a-vis the realised benefits. Therefore, comparing expected benefits from the business case with actual benefits after implementation

• Chose B1

  It is crucial to determine whether the implemented application meets the original business requirements and objectives. The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) results and sign-off from users directly address whether the system functions as intended and satisfies the needs it was designed to fulfill.
