To get a comprehensive view of a project’s performance and profitability, it’s important to conduct a thorough analysis that takes multiple factors into account. Below are some key questions to consider:

Was the quote priced correctly?

Start by evaluating whether the original sales price was correctly assessed in relation to the scope and complexity of the project. If there are discrepancies between the original price and actual costs, investigate why and what consequences this had on the project’s profitability.

Were the hours or products delivered as quoted?

Review whether the resources and deliverables specified in the quote were actually achieved during the course of the project. If there were deviations, analyze the reasons behind them and how they affected the project outcome.

How efficient was the project team?

Assess the efficiency of the team working on the project. This may involve reviewing time reports, productivity data, and any challenges or obstacles that affected the workflow. Identify success factors and areas for improvement.

What can be improved for the next project?

Reflect on the lessons and experiences gained from this project to identify areas for improvement in future projects. This could include adjusting pricing strategies, enhancing communication between teams, or implementing more efficient processes and tools.
