APM event held on 9 July in Bristol.
Speaker: Roy Millard
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome back to Bristol Roy Millard, of APM’s Assurance Interest Group on 9 July 2024, to talk about project reviews and hopefully answer all your questions.
Roy outlined his extensive career and his experience in setting up the APM’s Assurance Specific Interest Group, as they were known then.
Using Mentimeter, he asked a number of questions of the audience about their experience of project reviews and what they wanted to know.
Roy discussed what a project review was and examined a number of definitions, including APM’s Bok: “Project reviews take place throughout the project life cycle to check the likely or actual achievement of the objectives specified in the project management plan”
Why do we do project reviews? Different stakeholders will have different views about this, but usually it is about providing confidence that the project will deliver the expected outputs and benefits, that it is under control.
There are many types of project reviews, including peer reviews, internal audit, National Audit Office, IPA, etc.
Roy discussed the principles behind the Three Lines of Defence Model:, First line looks at management controls, policies, procedures, Second line at compliance, such as Gate reviews, QA, to check that controls are being followed, and third Line is independent external reviews for the organisations Board, such as Internal Audit or NAO audit.
Factors which affect project reviews include the scope, level of independence, customer of the review, team composition and time.
Project Audits are a special type of project review. They are generally more independent, formal with clear processes and audit trails, with a greater emphasis on compliance. Project reviews are generally more flexible and informal, but should be evidence based and have some level of independence.
Roy looked at 2 examples of where reviews went wrong, London Underground Sub-Surface Upgrade signalling contract, and London’s Garden Bridge. The former had poor 3 lines of defence, no internal audit and weak procurement skills, the latter was a Boris Johnson vanity project with no proper governance due to Johnson’s pressure and interference.
Roy discussed the principles of assurance reviews from APM’s Guide to Integrated Assurance (Free to Members), which include: independence, accountability, risk based, and impact, etc
Human factors are important in project reviews. The skills and knowledge of the review team, building trust with the project team to avoid defensiveness, body language, and team dynamics, which can only be assessed face to face, active listening, flexibility and objectively.

Mental depression symptoms
2. • The ups and downs of life may get us down
and make us sad from time to time. During
such times, we often say we are depressed,
but clinical depression is different. Depression
is not just feeling sad (some depressed people
don't even feel that way), it is about feeling
lifeless and empty. Those who are depressed
may show some of these symptoms.
3. • Sleep Disorders
– A common sign of depression is a sleep disorder.
Those suffering from clinical depression may find
it difficult to sleep. Others may sleep too much. As
a result, they find it difficult to concentrate. This
makes it difficult to do even previously easy tasks .
• Negative Thoughts & Feelings
– People suffering from depression feel very
helpless and hopeless. Some may even cry daily
for this reason. They experience negative thoughts
about themselves and cannot control such
thoughts no matter how hard they try. They say
that life is not worth living.
4. • Eating Problems
– Depressed people often experience eating
problems. Some of them may lose their appetite,
while others can't stop eating. This may lead to
weight loss or an overweight problem. On the
average, they could experience about a 5 percent
change in weight in a single month.
• Withdrawing from Society
– People who are depressed spend a lot of time
alone. They may stop doing things they once
enjoyed and may cut themselves off from friends
or family.
5. • Suicidal Thoughts
– The most serious symptom of depression is
suicidal thoughts. Since depressed people don't
find life worth living, they want to take their own
lives. They think this will end the pain they are
going through.
– The worst Symptom is the Suicidal Thoughts. If in
any Case You are Facing this thoughts, you
seriously needs help. It is time you start talking
with someone or get a doctor’s help.
6. • Depression drains your energy, hope, and
drive, making it difficult to do what you need
to feel better. But while overcoming
depression isn’t quick or easy, it’s far from
impossible. You can’t beat it through sheer
willpower, but you do have some control—
even if your depression is severe and
stubbornly persistent. The key is to start small
and build from there. Feeling better takes
time, but you can get there if you make
positive choices for yourself each day.
7. The road to depression recovery
• Recovering from depression requires action, but
taking action when you’re depressed is hard. In
fact, just thinking about the things you should do
to feel better, like going for a walk or spending
time with friends, can be exhausting.
• It’s the Catch-22 of depression recovery: The
things that help the most are the things that are
the most difficult to do. There’s a difference,
however, between something that's difficult and
something that's impossible.
8. • The key to depression recovery is to start with a
few small goals and slowly build from there. Draw
upon whatever resources you have. You may not
have much energy, but you probably have enough
to take a short walk around the block or pick up
the phone to call a loved one.
• Take things one day at a time and reward yourself
for each accomplishment. The steps may seem
small, but they’ll quickly add up. And for all the
energy you put into your depression
recovery, you’ll get back much more in return.
Start small and stay focused
9. Depression self-help tip 1: Cultivate
supportive relationships
• Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the
fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can
be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort
required to beat depression, but the very nature of
depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However,
isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so
maintaining your close relationships and social activities are
important.
• The thought of reaching out to even close family members
and friends can seem overwhelming. You may feel
ashamed, too exhausted to talk, or guilty for neglecting the
relationship. Remind yourself that this is the depression
talking. You loved ones care about you and want to help.
10. • Turn to trusted friends and family members. Share
what you’re going through with the people you love
and trust. Ask for the help and support you need. You
may have retreated from your most treasured
relationships, but they can get you through this tough
time.
• Try to keep up with social activities even if you don’t
feel like it. Often when you’re depressed, it feels more
comfortable to retreat into your shell, but being
around other people will make you feel less depressed.
• Join a support group for depression. Being with others
dealing with depression can go a long way in reducing
your sense of isolation. You can also encourage each
other, give and receive advice on how to cope, and
share your experiences.
11. • Talk to one person about your feelings.
• Help someone else by volunteering.
• Have lunch or coffee with a friend.
• Ask a loved one to check in with you regularly.
• Accompany someone to the movies, a concert, or a
small get-together.
• Call or email an old friend.
• Go for a walk with a workout buddy.
• Schedule a weekly dinner date.
• Meet new people by taking a class or joining a club.
• Confide in a counselor, therapist, or clergy member.
12. Depression self-help tip 2: Challenge
negative thinking
Depression puts a negative spin on everything,
including the way you see yourself, the
situations you encounter, and your
expectations for the future.
But you can’t break out of this pessimistic mind
frame by “just thinking positive.” Happy
thoughts or wishful thinking won’t cut it.
Rather, the trick is to replace negative
thoughts with more balanced thoughts.
13. Ways to challenge negative thinking:
• Think outside yourself. Ask yourself if you’d say what you’re thinking
about yourself to someone else. If not, stop being so hard on yourself.
Think about less harsh statements that offer more realistic descriptions.
• Allow yourself to be less than perfect. Many depressed people are
perfectionists, holding themselves to impossibly high standards and then
beating themselves up when they fail to meet them. Battle this source of
self-imposed stress by challenging your negative ways of thinking
• Socialize with positive people. Notice how people who always look on the
bright side deal with challenges, even minor ones, like not being able to
find a parking space. Then consider how you would react in the same
situation. Even if you have to pretend, try to adopt their optimism and
persistence in the face of difficulty.
• Keep a “negative thought log." Whenever you experience a negative
thought, jot down the thought and what triggered it in a notebook.
Review your log when you’re in a good mood. Consider if the negativity
was truly warranted. Ask yourself if there’s another way to view the
situation. For example, let’s say your boyfriend was short with you and you
automatically assumed that the relationship was in trouble. It's possible,
though, he’s just having a bad day.
14. Types of negative thinking that add to
depression
• All-or-nothing thinking – Looking at things in black-or-white categories,
with no middle ground (“If I fall short of perfection, I’m a total failure.”)
• Overgeneralization – Generalizing from a single negative experience,
expecting it to hold true forever (“I can’t do anything right.”)
• The mental filter – Ignoring positive events and focusing on the negative.
Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that
went right.
• Diminishing the positive – Coming up with reasons why positive events
don’t count (“She said she had a good time on our date, but I think she
was just being nice.”)
• Jumping to conclusions – Making negative interpretations without actual
evidence. You act like a mind reader (“He must think I’m pathetic”) or a
fortune teller (“I’ll be stuck in this dead end job forever”)
• Emotional reasoning – Believing that the way you feel reflects reality (“I
feel like such a loser. I really am no good!”)
• ‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’ – Holding yourself to a strict list of what you
should and shouldn’t do, and beating yourself up if you don’t live up to
your rules.
• Labeling – Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived
shortcomings (“I’m a failure; an idiot; a loser.”)
15. Depression self-help tip 3: Take care of yourself
• In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes
following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what
you’re able to do, adopting healthy habits, and scheduling fun activities into your
day.
• Aim for eight hours of sleep. Depression typically involves sleep problems.
Whether you’re sleeping too little or too much, your mood suffers. Get on a better
sleep schedule by learning healthy sleep habits.
• Expose yourself to a little sunlight every day. Lack of sunlight can make
depression worse. Make sure you’re getting enough. Take a short walk
outdoors, have your coffee outside, enjoy an al fresco meal, people-watch on a
park bench, or sit out in the garden. Aim for at least 15 minutes of sunlight a day
to boost your mood. If you live somewhere with little winter sunshine, try using a
light therapy box.
• Keep stress in check. Not only does stress prolong and worsen depression, but it
can also trigger it. Figure out all the things in your life that stress you out.
Examples include: work overload, unsupportive relationships, taking on too
much, or health problems. Once you’ve identified your stressors, you can make a
plan to avoid them or minimize their impact.
• Practice relaxation techniques. A daily relaxation practice can help relieve
symptoms of depression, reduce stress, and boost feelings of joy and well-being.
Try yoga, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation.
• Care for a pet. While nothing can replace the human connection, pets can bring
joy and companionship into your life and help you feel less isolated. Caring for a
pet can also get you outside of yourself and give you a sense of being needed—
both powerful antidotes to depression.
16. Do things you enjoy (or used to)
• While you can’t force yourself to have fun or experience
pleasure, you can choose to do things that you used to enjoy. Pick
up a former hobby or a sport you used to like. Express yourself
creatively through music, art, or writing. Go out with friends. Take a
day trip to a museum, the mountains, or the ballpark.
• Push yourself to do things, even when you don’t feel like it. You
might be surprised at how much better you feel once you’re out in
the world. Even if your depression doesn’t lift immediately, you’ll
gradually feel more upbeat and energetic as you make time for fun
activities.
Develop a wellness toolbox
Come up with a list of things that you can do for a quick
mood boost. Include any strategies, activities, or skills
that have helped in the past. The more “tools” for
coping with depression, the better. Try and implement
a few of these ideas each day, even if you’re feeling
good.
17. • Spend some time in nature
• List what you like about yourself
• Read a good book
• Watch a funny movie or TV show
• Take a long, hot bath
• Take care of a few small tasks
• Play with a pet
• Write in your journal
• Listen to music
• Do something spontaneous

19. Depression self-help tip 4: Get regular
exercise
• Take the stairs rather than the elevator
• Park your car in the farthest spot in the lot
• Take your dog for a walk
• Pair up with an exercise partner
• Walk while you’re talking on the phone
20. • The following exercise tips offer a powerful prescription for boosting
mood:
• Exercise now…and again. A 10-minute walk can improve your mood for
two hours. The key to sustaining mood benefits is to exercise regularly.
• Choose activities that are moderately intense. Aerobic exercise
undoubtedly has mental health benefits, but you don't need to sweat
strenuously to see results.
• Find exercises that are continuous and rhythmic (rather than
intermittent). Walking, swimming, dancing, stationery biking, and yoga
are good choices.
• Add a mind-body element. Activities such as yoga and tai chi rest your
mind and increase your energy. You can also add a meditative element to
walking or swimming by repeating a mantra (a word or phrase) as you
move.
• Start slowly, and don't overdo it. More isn't better. Athletes who over
train find their moods drop rather than lift.

23. • If you find your depression getting worse and
worse, seek professional help. Needing
additional help doesn’t mean you’re weak.
Sometimes the negative thinking in
depression can make you feel like you’re a lost
cause, but depression can be treated and you
can feel better!
• Don’t forget about these self-help
tips, though. Even if you’re receiving
professional help, these tips can be part of
your treatment plan, speeding your recovery
and preventing depression from returning.
