    Hello
    I have a confusion in the definition of a project owner and project customer/user. Could you please give a difference between the two terms?

    Thanks.

    Think of the project owner as the person who supports, drives and probably funds the project. For example, the finance director could be the owner of the project for a new accounting system.

    The users would be the accounting staff.

    Hello
    I have a doubt regarding the timing of the post-completion audit. Is is conducted before or after the project team is disbanded?

    Thanks.

    It usually takes a while before the post completion audits or reviews are carried out. Indeed the post implementation review should not take place until a couple of months after the project goes live so that things can settle down.

    Rather than keeping staff on hold and idle until the audits they are often moved onto new projects. They can be brought together temporarily again if necessary for the audit.
