Programme & Project Assurance
Independent assurance that a programme is actually where its status report says it is — assessed against the terms of reference, the technical design and the evidence available.
The problem
What departments are dealing with
- Status reporting is produced by the same party responsible for delivery.
- Acceptance criteria are described qualitatively and cannot be objectively tested.
- Go-live decisions are taken without documented residual-risk acceptance.
- Defects and security findings are tracked in separate, unreconciled systems.
Outcomes
What the engagement produces
- An independent, evidence-based view of programme readiness
- Gate criteria that make acceptance decisions objective
- Reconciled defect, risk and security-finding position
- Documented residual risk at the point of go-live
