Topic Description

Now, more than ever, businesses cannot afford costly surprises, flawed information, and limited visibility into project performance. Proactive, preventive, “early warning” processes must be put in place to help diagnose and manage project health and reduce the cost of poor quality. This presentation will address how the rigorous application of project assessment and independent verification and validation (IVV) processes, tools, and techniques throughout the project lifecycle can increase an organization’s ability to detect, measure, and manage risk more effectively. This will reduce the likelihood of budget overruns, late deliveries, sponsor dissatisfaction, and reduced work product quality. Leveraging best practices knowledge to customize scorecards and conduct health assessments that combine subjective intelligence with statistical data, helps to solve immediate problems and prevent their root causes from degrading future performance.
