Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
To assess the performance of the project team
Why it's wrong here
Team performance is not the primary focus; the review is about the system itself.

To evaluate whether the system achieved its planned objectives and benefits
Why this is correct
This is the core purpose of a post-implementation review.
- ✗
To document the technical architecture for future reference
Why it's wrong here
Technical documentation is part of maintenance, not the review's main objective.
