When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Capital Projects and Commissioning programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links handover, lessons learned
Not for
- Capital Project Safety Review, which reviews a capital project at each stage for safety, hygienic design, access and maintainability before money is committed.
- Equipment Specification Record, which holds the specification a new machine must meet, covering performance, safety, hygiene, energy and maintenance access.
- Installation Progress Record, which records progress, quality and safety during an installation, including permits and contractor performance.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

What sections does the post project review contain?+
There are 7 sections: header, against the business case, reliability since handover, in use, learning, related records, result. Together they hold 52 fields, 38 of which are required.
How many post project review records should we have?+
This is a singleton. One record per workspace, set up once and maintained, rather than one per event. Other templates refer back to it.
Which programme does the post project review belong to?+
It is part of Capital Projects and Commissioning. Equipment arriving with its procedures, training and spares rather than after them.
How is a post project review scored?+
Scoring is benefits realised. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the post project review template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the post project review library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
